Mount Teneriffe — Friday, May. 25, 2001

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

Memorial Day weekend (Saturday) and there were only three or four other people on the trail! The first mile or so is fairly flat, but then the fun starts. The road is in good shape most of the way, but is rocky in places. It is pretty open once you start to climb and sun screen is a good idea. There are plenty of great views on the way up. The gentleman who owns the cabin just off the road near where the trail breaks off has tied engineer's tape from the road up to the ridgeline. His directions were very helpful. The trail to the top starts to the right, just before you go through the notch. Follow the ridgeline to the top. The views were great! I could see Mt. Baker to the North. Most of the snow is gone, with just a few patches left. Be careful on the way back down to the road, stay high on the ridgeline. I went too low and nearly missed the road!
