This is a photography oriented hike that will explore the fern valley and shaded boulder fields beneath little Si along with the expansive vistas looking out to Big Si from the top.  We will concentrate on identifying good foreground anchors to   help frame the the expansive vistas at the top.  This is a good opportunity for beginners looking to expand the photographic skill set and more advanced photographers looking to bring into sharper focus their personal photographic vision.  This will be the precursor to a photographic hike to big Si in early June.

Main Little Si Parking Lot at 7AM.
