Mount Si — Wednesday, Sep. 6, 2000

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

I hadn't been up to the top of Si since the 4th of July (a great place to watch the fireworks of Puget Sound if the weather is clear!) and thought I'd get a little exercise. As everyone knows, this trail is a highway and is in great shape. My only disappointment (besides the rainy weather) was at the amount of shortcuts I've seen appear on the trail. People are cutting through the brush to shorten the trail and some very worn and shortcuts are appearing in places. Hopefully people will come to their senses and quit destroying the vegetation around the trail.
