Embark on the Mount Si, Blowdown and Teneriffe Loop, a challenging hike that promises diverse landscapes and rewarding views. This difficult route spans 11.8 miles (19.0 km) and involves a significant elevation gain of 4957 feet (1511 metres), typically requiring about 9 hours and 47 minutes to complete. You will begin your journey through dense forest along Roaring Creek, gradually ascending towards the exposed peaks. Look forward to panoramic vistas of the Cascade Range and Snoqualmie Valley from Mount Teneriffe, and on clear days, you might even spot Seattle and Mount Rainier from Mount Si Peak.
Planning your visit requires careful consideration, as this loop is best suited for experienced hikers. Be prepared for varying conditions; snow and ice can make higher elevations slick, particularly during colder months, so microspikes might be necessary. You may also encounter overgrown sections or fallen trees, which can add to the navigational challenge. Always check current trail conditions before heading out to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
This loop offers a unique opportunity to explore the Mount Si Natural Resources Conservation Area, traversing not only well-known peaks but also more secluded, rugged sections towards Blowdown Mountain. This less-traveled part of the trail provides a sense of wilderness and solitude, setting it apart from more frequented paths. The combination of iconic viewpoints and untamed stretches makes this a memorable adventure for those seeking a demanding yet fulfilling day in the mountains.
