Comments
Comments: This is a fun, little-used loop. Up rugged Ramsey Trail to West Rattlesnake; Ridge Trail to East Rattlesnake; then down East Rattlesnake Trail. Great views of the lakes from both summits, but East Rattlesnake has the best view of Red Hill. All three trails are in good shape.

I saw Hepatica and Early Saxifrage on Ramsey Trail. Other wildflowers will be popping up soon.
