We will be hiking the Mount Si Main Trail to the boulders. We will not be climbing the haystack.

Per the handbook:
At a minimum, be able to hike with a full day pack (20% of body weight but no less than 25 pounds and no more than 50 pounds) up the Mt. Si trail to the boulders (4 miles, 3400' gain) in under 2h

Please use water for the bulk of your pack weight to allow for a quick (and less painful) descent.

Mount Si trailhead at 8am. A Discover Pass is required.
