Field trip: Conditioning Hiking Series

CHS 2 Hike - Mount Si via Talus Loop

Mount Si via the Old Trail led at a CHS 2 pace. Here's a better way to hike Mt Si! Explore the quieter trails and classic Pacific Northwest forests of Mt Si. It's a steep trudge up old Mt Si trail, and then a more gradual descent down the Mt. Teneriffe, Talus Loop and Douglas Fir trails to return to the Little Si Trailhead. Get some mid-week conditioning in without an early morning wake-up!
