Rampart Ridge

Rampart Ridge is a prominent ridgeline located in the Cascade Range northeast of Hyak, Washington, within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. This trail follows two separate forest roads and takes visitors to the ridge base with scenic views and pristine forest along the way. Although the road continues further up the ridgeline, significant vegetation overgrowth prevents all but the bravest/most haphazard drivers from moving further up. Although not a particularly challenging route and likely doable in most vehicles, the road gives drivers a chance to give their suspension a bit of a stretch and satiate that craving for adventure.
