Today’s hike had everything but a view. It was cloudy most of the way. A little sunshine to the west when I got to the Mount Si summit block (the Haystack) but rain for almost an hour on the way down.
But the hike was just a bit more than ten miles, 3300 feet of elevation gain, not a blazing hot day. I saw no one all the way up and a grand total of four people on the way down.
I went up the Mount Teneriffe trail to the Si connector trail and then back down the same way. The new Mount Teneriffe parking lot doesn’t open (there is a gate) until 7 but the old lot, a school bus turnaround, is always open. Illegal to park there on a school day but today – no problem.
So I started up the trail at 5:12 am and got back to the car just a bit after 9.
As I say, no views today:
But that’s OK. A great workout. Track below.
