Mt. Si

Before we visited Mt. Si, I have read an article about it saying it's one of the most popular hiking trail in Washington, and if you have lived in Northwest area long enough, you have to do what local people do -- Mt. Si hiking.

This is really a punishment for not working out regularly. My legs are so sore to the point that I want to walk with my arms. This trip is fun and pretty, very enjoyable, stunning view at the summit, but serious, for a lazy person like me, I should really try Little Si before going on Mt. Si.

For those of you don't have an idea of this trail, it's a 8 miles(12.8km) roundtrip hiking trail. It started at 500ft(152m) and elevation gains 3500ft(1066m), summit is 4167ft(1270m). Yes this is a small mountain, but believe me, if you walk 3-4hrs uphill, this can really drive you nuts.

Hi Eric, it depends on if you are used to hike or not. some people said 2.5hrs, but it took us 3-4hrs to get up there. we stayed at summit for 1-2hrs and another 1.5-2hrs to came down (but i walked fast when coming down, coz it's getting dark).
