The goal of this hike is to build fitness for the upcoming climbing season. Plan to carry a pack weight that will challenge you, but allow you to maintain about a 2 mph pace. From the parking lot, we will follow the Little Si Trail to the summit. At the top, we'll take a quick snack break and then descend the way we came. Plan to travel as a group for the whole hike.

Everyone else, please wait until 3/30 to use the Request Leader Permission button and tell me about recent hikes or other conditioning you've done and what you're hoping to get out of this hike.

Meet in the Little Si parking lot with boots on and ready to go at 6pm. Discover Pass required to park at the trailhead. There is a toilet at this trailhead.
