Comments
Comments: Great, short loop. Up Ramsey Trail to West Rattlesnake, Ridge Trail to East Rattlesnake, down East Rattlesnake Trail to the car. Technically, I did not summit East Rattlesnake. I turned around at the ledges about 0.2 miles from the summit. Wonderful views from those ledges and from the summit of West Rattlesnake.

All these trails are in good shape at the moment. Ramsey Trail is very steep, and the oak leaves are deep & slippery in places. Just remember to look up occasionally. If you are looking at the ground, you might miss some blazes and end up off trail. The other trails are easier to navigate.
