Teneriffe Falls, Mount Si & Talus Loop — Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023

Left from the Teneriffe trailhead this morning at 8:00 and headed up to the falls. After some great pictures, headed down from the falls and hit the connector trail between Falls Trail in the mountain trail. There is an abundance of work happening on this trail to make it more hiker friendly, was an easy trail to follow. From there I hit the Teneriffe Mountain Trail to the connector between Teneriffe Mountain and Mt Si. This part of the trail is covered in fairly packed snow. No issues hiking this with just poles and good boots. I had crampons if needed but did not use. Ran into a couple hikers that did blowdown mountain which required snowshoes. After arriving at Mount, Si headed down the trail until I linked up with the talus loop trail. Hike only the upper portion until I reached the Teneriffe mountain trail. And then did head back down to the trailhead. This hike was about 11.5 mi total hiking.
