Little Si

Litte Si Summit.

If you are short on time or trying to get back into shape for hiking season, look no further than Little Si.  I ended up having the night off of work and didn't have too much time to get out. My friend,  Jordan, recently returned from teaching in Korea and is ready to get back at it. So what was a better hike the Mount Si's little sister, Little Si?

We got to the trailhead about 2pm and the weather was holding out. The trail is pretty easy and is great for families, doggies, and beginners. Although, the trail can get a little confusing when you get close to the rock walls, but continue forward past the Doug Hansen Memorial bench. Don't worry, you are going the right way. There is only a slight elevation gain before the summit, it can get a little muddy if there has been recent rain.

I expected this trail to be much more busy for a Friday afternoon. We only saw a handful of people and had the summit to ourselves. The sun was fading fast, because rain clouds were rolling in. We got lucky, and took off. What we didn't know that this was the kick off to some actual snow hitting the Cascades after a very snow-free winter. I can't really complain because I have been hiking every week since New Years.

All and all, go to Little Si. If you are like me it's nice to just get out and not stay inside for too long. Especially, now that our days are getting longer. What's your excuse? You get off work at 5pm and you still have a good 3-4 hours of sunlight! Soak it all in, do everything you can. Life is too short, so live it.

Until the next adventure.
