Field trip: Conditioning Hiking Series
CHS 1 Hike - Mount Teneriffe-Mount Si Traverse
We will summit 2 iconic mountains, Mount Si and Mount Teneriffe, on this lovely loop hike. The trail is mostly wooded including some old growth, with wonderful views from the summits if the weather cooperates. Lots of elevation gain, but we'll take it slowly.
