Fall

Loving this fall weather driving around the Pacific Northwest. Time to get in a couple extra hikes while the weather is still somewhat cooperating.

Mount Si- North Bend, WA

Been trying to venture away from my usual hiking spots along hwy2 and mountain loop hwy, some work friends suggested I try Mount Si. I couldn't have picked a worse day to go! I hit the trail at 7:30am with a slight drizzle and a grey sky. 2hours, 4miles of switchbacks, and 3150ft elevation gain later I reached the top, only to stay long enough to snap a quick picture and down some water. The slight drizzle had turned into an outright downpour with gusty winds and the trail into a small stream. Despite the weather I still had a great time and enjoyed the challenge. Can't wait for summer to try this again!!
