The trail is in good condition, but very little fall color.  

Restrooms were open.

You know you're from the PNW when you climb 4,500 ft just for this view! And you still love every minute of it. 

Not wanting to wait for the Teneriffe TH gate to open, I started at the Mount Si trailhead about 6:45 am this morning. A few cars beat me there, but not many. I took Talus Loop Trail over to Mount Teneriffe Trail, then hopped on the connector trail over to the falls. Everything in great shape, although slightly wet. From the falls, I pitched upwards on Kamikaze. If it's your first time doing Kamikaze, I highly recommend a map, because while the trail is mostly easy to follow, you can occasionally be led astray on social trails. I also noticed that the orange blazes on the trail are now heavily faded, so cannot rely on those. :/

Kamikaze was snowfree all the way to the summit! I hadn't seen anyone all day which was fun. Summit was misty and windy, with zero views. Didn't stay long. Started sighting other humans on the long Mt. Teneriffe Trail down. Of special note is the sad fading of orange blazes on this side of the trail as well. They're basically gone. I really relied on these in the winter months, when there are loads of conifer duff on the snow obscuring faint tracks (if there are any). So winter could pose an interesting challenge! Again, offline nav will be critical! There are some blazes that seem to be carved into the trees and some random pink ribbons occasionally, but I am not sure it will be enough when everything is covered with snow.

After a long descent on the Mount Teneriffe Trail, I hopped back on the Talus Loop and made it back to my car without incident. Pretty quiet day on the trail, and the green lush forest and colorful mushrooms were gorgeous!

I was getting a late start so I parked in the Mt Si parking lot instead of the Teneriffe parking lot. The hike to the falls is about the same whichever parking lot one choses to park. The Teneriffe trail parking lot closes at dusk and I did not want to chance getting locked in.

I recall seeing the Mt Si trailhead parking lot free from potholes earlier this year. Well, many of those potholes are back. The parking lot was not really that bad, but there are some potholes, especially near the entrance.

The toilets were open and well stocked.

The trails that I took were in great shape. I hiked up the Mt Si trail to the Talus Loop. Then going up the Talus loop trail to the connector for Teneriffe. From there I continued up the Teneriffe trail to the fairly new connector, which took me to the Teneriffe Falls trail. On my return I chose to hike on the Roaring Creek trail to get back to the Mt Si trail.

Today, happened to be foggy for much of the hike, so many of my pictures did not turn out very clear. Fog happens in the northwest. The forecast was for clouds but when the cloud level in only a couple thousand feet, then one should expect fog when hiking in these hills.

With all the recent rains, the falls are looking pretty good. Expect them to keep flowing until next summer.

There are many mushrooms out and fall leaves are covering the trails.

Lovely fall day for a waterfall hike. Teneriffe trailhead had ample parking on this dry Veterans Day. Big leaf maple leaves on the trail added to the fall vibe. Some rocky sections but all in all this trail is in great shape.
We went up to the falls and came back the connector trail for a 6 mile lollipop shaped hike. 
Feeling grateful for fresh air, sunshine, a beautiful waterfall and access to hiking trails.

Kamikaze trail above Teneriffe Falls is in great shape! No mud, minimal erosion, pretty easy to follow up the ridge! No snow, just a little bit of frost earlier on in the day. Trail to Dixie Peak is well trodden and easy to follow, it makes for an excellent side quest! 3 volcanoes, 6 dogs, and 3 or 4 awesome kiddos braving the Si Haystack.
