Description

Follow the Trail of the Shadows, located across the road from the National Park Inn at Longmire, to the trail junction. From Longmire, Rampart immediately ascends quite steeply to the ridge along some rooted switchbacks.

Generally looped in combination with Wonderland Trail, Rampart Ridge does continue northwest all the way to Comet Falls Trail, gradually ascending as it goes.

Rampart Ridge Trail
Mar 26, 2018 near Eatonville, WA
The forest briefly opens up as you start descending the far side of Rampart Ridge, giving you a great view of Mt. Rainier when it's clear out.

Just as you crest the ridge, a well-marked viewpoint provides beautiful views of the Nisqually River.

The switchbacks on the way up Rampart Ridge are a wonderfully consistent grade and surrounded by a gorgeous forest.
