Roaring Creek, Mount Teneriffe — Friday, Mar. 19, 2021

I parked in the main Si lot today and hiked up to the roaring creek trail cut-off and then over to the new Teneriffe trail. From there I briefly went up the Teneriffe trail to the falls connector and then over to the Kamakazie trail and then to the summit. All of the trails were in good condition. Intermittent snow starts once you get to the ridge above the falls. I put on spikes roughly half way up the ridge. The trail is nicely packed down until you break out of the trees and then it's pretty soft. Spikes and poles were all that was needed. Didn't see anyone today after leaving the falls. Came back down the same way. I hadn't been on the roaring creek trail before and it is really nice. In my opinion the lower elevation trails in the Si Teneriffe area are a great option if people want to avoid the snow and the crowds. Tons of loop combinations possible and very few people using them. RT 7.2 miles and 4200 gain. Happy hiking.
