The Boulder Garden Loop is a short, scenic loop on the western side of Mount Si. It involves around 900 vertical feet of elevation gain and a distance of around 4 miles round trip. The pace will be easy to moderate and we will take several breaks along the way. In terms of gear, bring the ten essentials. If there is any chance of rain, bring waterproof rain pants and a waterproof rain parka. To minimize the number of cars at the trailhead, we will meet at the Issaquah Transit Center at 7:30am in the northeast corner on the ground floor, consolidate cars, and drive to the trailhead from there. Directions to Issaquah Transit Center: Take I-90 exit 15. Head south about 3 blocks on 17th Ave NW to NW Maple St. Turn left on Maple and the transit center is right there on the corner.
