Mount Si — Saturday, Mar. 17, 2001

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

Mount Si: Not surprising on a very wet day like today many mud-holes could be found. However, balmy temperatures cleared a lot of the snow on the final mile. Only the last quarter mile was a little tricky, as the trail was saturated with an inch or two of a soggy, slippery, slushy mess. Poles highly recommended for this area. Once on the rocky outcrops, cold rain-soaked wind displayed a few flakes here and there but nothing doing...mostly steady rain. A couple inches of snow still remains. I caught a couple thieving feathered friends even braving the wetness to have a chance at my sandwich. They failed miserably though. I didn't stay too long as I was wet enough, and, besides, I could barely make out the haystack behind me. Overall, the trail was good, not too horribly busy. Enjoyed this day.
