Rampart Ridge Trail

The Rampart Ridge Trail is a scenic loop of “The Ramparts,” an ancient lava flow which once erupted from the summit of Mt. Rainier. Most hikers take the loop in the clockwise direction. This route begins with steep switchbacks before proceeding around a scenic ridge on your way back to the start point. Because of the occasionally steep grades, this is generally considered a hard hike. The Rampart Ridge Trail is a popular hike with Strava members visiting Mt. Rainier National Park.
