Hike to Rachel and Rampart Lakes Sept 30, 2010


This trail had lots of beautiful waterfalls

Streams to cross and walk through

The waterfalls came cascading down the hill

Here is my favorite waterfall over a huge bolder

The fall leaves where really beautiful

Rachel Lake was a welcome site following a steep climb

I fished for a few minutes while Steve took pictures
and Gary found a "Geocache"

Should have gone swimming as it was a warm day

We started to climb some more to the Rampart
Lakes

Steve and Gary were patiently waiting for me, although here I was above them

Beautiful stream running through the fall colors

A good lunch spot next to the Rampart Lake,
Fun fishing spot too

The lake was beautiful and full of fish (that wouldn't bite)

Time to start back down the hill to Rachel Lake

A great place for a rest and a picture

Another look at my favorite waterfall

This one was a close second!

Are you tired of waterfalls? I thought they were great!
