Description
This route is another successful road to trails conversion, which provides a more gentle climb than the Mt. Si Trail and which offers many of the same views. Work your way through second and younger growth forest, past a waterfall, and up to the summit of Mt. Teneriffe. The first 2 miles are gentle before the switchbacks which continue for the next 2 miles before following the ridgeline to the summit. Note that it is also possible to connect this trail to the Mt. Si Trail at about 3,600 ft elevation.
