I went looking for Little si and found Big si. It wasn’t until I got .5 mi into the hike I realized I was on the trail. So, not wanting to hike 10 miles today, I turned around and went back to the trailhead and drove to the Mt. Si overflow parking lot where the Little Si trailhead was located. After finally getting on the right path just in time to see the sunrise i found the trail to be challenging yet enjoyable. The trail wasn’t too busy for the morning and was well maintained. It was a bit windy at the top but the views were worth it..

We easily found parking in the overflow lot at 10 am. The trail was busy but not crowded. Cold and windy at the top so didn't linger. Such a great local trail that's easily accessible yet round.

4.7 mi, 1200 ft

Today was the perfect weather for a hike! The trail was dry and easy to navigate (lots of signs along the way). However, due to the good weather and our choice to go during the weekend, both the main and overflow parking lots were full. Luckily, we were able to park at Tanner Landing Park which was only about a half mile from the trailhead.

There were lots of dogs and children on the trail. The incline of the hike had steep sections and some flat sections. There were plenty of lookouts that were beautiful places to slow down and enjoy the scenery. While on the hike, we encountered 3 different species of bird. The golden-crowned kinglet, hairy woodpecker, and pacific wren.

About halfway down the trail, there was a large cliff edge where people were climbing. If you have the gear and experience, I definitely recommend!

At the top, it was not too crowded and the view was beautiful. Some sections on the way down were steep, so be careful and watch your footing. There were lots of rocks on the trail so bring proper shoes.

My final hike of the year (I'm not a winter/snow hiker)—and it turned out well with good weather. Cloudy but no rain. Got to the trailhead about 12:20 pm, after a dentist appt. Main parking lot about 90% full. I parked in the overflow just to add a little bit more walking--no one there. Trail was dry, and fall colors profuse. Arrived at the summit and enjoyed the forest and mountainside view from the outcrops on the side. Stayed on top about 20 minutes. The whole day saw about a dozen people so not too bad. Got back to car at 2:30. No wildlife. 

Beautiful day for a hike, so there were lots of people on the trail today. I arrived around 10:15 and parked in the overflow lot. Trail is in good condition for November. Just watch for hidden rocks when the leaves are covering the trail. I did not check out the privy to see the condition/status of toilet paper.
