View of the Snoqualmie Valley off a cliff.
We started our hike up Mt. Si at around 8:30am, reaching the top rest point at just after 10am. The trail was dusty, and we were glad to have started early because by the time we turned back down, the day had gotten hot. Roots and rocks make any views along the trail hard to spot since you're constantly looking at your footing. But, at the top you're rewarded with a spectacular view of the Snoqualmie Valley and Mt. Rainier.
Without much training, some would call it none, it wasn't an easy hike and at times I felt like I wouldn't make it. But, as long as you remember it's not a race, it's not too long of a hike and you will make it up the trail. Folks along the route were very encouraging and friendly. A number of dogs too.
A note on parking: Get there early! When we got to the parking lot, there were approximately twenty other cars there, and by the time we got down, there were over 100 with people getting creative in their parking spots.
