I call this:  Little Si + Boulder Garden Loop + More!

We will first go to the top of Little Si and then come back down to only go back up even more doing the Boulder Garden Loop.  Half way throught the loop we will go on the Douglas Fir Trail to Big Si then go up Big Si about .7 miles to the Interprative Center where there are lots of places to sit and have a long rest if needed.  Then after that rest it is all down hill - back down Big Si to Douglas Fir then down the rest of the Boulder Garden Loop and soon back to the trailhead.  

8am at Little Si Trailhead.
