Trail Guide for Hiking Mount Si and Scrambling Up the True Summit

On a summer road trip, we hike the most popular trail in the state of Washington - Mount Si. This trail winds through a lush old growth forest and emerges to a talus field with a panoramic view of the Cascades, the Snoqualmie Valley and Mount Rainier.
For most hikers, this is where the hike ends, but we will also attempt to tackle the true peak of Mount Si, a class 3 scramble up a rock with a spectacular view on top. Come hike with us!

    Nice climb and great quality video. In sailor parlance, halo around the sun, approaching storm. Glad you made it down before the rain.

    Thank you! I didn't know that about the halo, but it makes sense. Yeah, we didn't want to climb down that rock in the rain.

    I’d say on the haystack it’s never bad idea to have a helmet, when it gets busy it’s common for rocks to be kicked loose

    Yes, pink just means it's part it's prime. Everything on this flower is in 3s, leaves, blossom sections, so just think of a triangle
