So, Mt Si was a little tougher than I thought it would be. The hike is 4 miles straight up. Half way the trail disappeared and all you could see was snow. Better than mud I suppose. By the time I got to the top it was 32 degrees and heavy snow. You can see from the photo that it was blizzard conditions (not really). The way down was not much better. New boots and new blisters. By the time we got down, I was ready for a warm shower and a cold beer.
