CHS 2 Hike - Little Si & Boulder Garden Loop

7:00 AM at the Little Si Trailhead.

Depending on traffic, it is approx. 45 minutes to 1 hour from Seattle to the trailhead. A Discover Pass is required at the trailhead. If you would like to carpool, please use the trip roster to coordinate.

WTA directions: Traveling on I-90 East, approaching North Bend, take exit for 436th Ave SE and turn left. Head 0.5 miles on 436 Ave SE and take a left on SE North Bend Way. Proceed 0.3 miles and turn right on SE Mount Si Road. The main parking lot for Little Si will be 0.4 miles on your left as the road straightens out after the bend (if you pass 439 Pl SE or 440 PL SE, you have driven too far).

In case the main parking lot is full, there is an overflow parking lot west of the main lot tucked into SE Mt Si Rd and 434 Ave SE (you pass this lot just before the main lot). There is a trail connecting the two. There are two toilets in the main parking just off the trailhead. 

Hello!  Welcome to the Saturday, April 20, CHS-2 hike to the summit of Little Si, including the Boulder Garden loop.

General info: Our goal is to have fun hiking this beautiful trail. Please ensure you have the Hiking Essential Systems with you. Of course wear appropriate layers - and remember to avoid wearing cotton and no jeans. Bring a snack for our summit break and at least one liter of water. Have something warm(er) to put on for our summit break. There are many rock slabs to sit on at the Little Si summit, but feel free to bring a sit pad if you want to ensure a dry, softer spot.

Map: We like the Green Trails 206S Mt Si map, though there are other map options, including online possibilities.

Weather: As of Tues, 4/16, the forecast is mostly sunny, with a high near 61 (and slight chance of showers).

Post hike: Recommend bringing a change of footwear and a bag for muddy boots. If the forecast turns to rain, you might also appreciate a change of clothes.

Optional post hike stop at Pioneer Coffee in North Bend (202 W North Bend Way).
