Mount Si — Sunday, Apr. 4, 1999

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

Sun was shining in Seattle so seemed like a good time to finally hike up to Mt. Si. After hiking around here for 20 years and NEVER having been up Si, wasn't sure what to expect. Snow on trail starting at 1.5 miles. Gets heavy further up, but never a problem. A bit slippery in places on the way down. Summit was in the clouds, so no views today, but a great workout. And it was fun to hike in the snow after snowshoeing so much this winter! About 30 or so folks on the trail, and 4 dogs...on a Monday'! I guess that's how it is on Si, eh' Good weather: no rain or snow and sun breaks on the way down. Only real hazard was the heavy snow falling off the trees and landing on one's head! It snowed here last night.
