4000ft Up to Touch a Mailbox

North Bend, Washington

Description

Now everyone knows about the gruesome Mailbox Peak Trail, but not all get to experience the rewarding finish at the top. Mailbox Peaks offers a great view, many spots to sit down at the top to eat your lunch, and a mailbox to stuff something in to leave your mark. Two trails are offered to make it to the top, an easier, longer trail, or the challenging trail we took. Bring lots of water and be prepared to have a hike you won't forget.

Little Si

Little Si, neighbor to the bigger Mount Si is a decent hike for beginners and families with younger children. It is 4.7 miles round trip (including Boulder Garden Loop - 1.5 miles) gaining 1300ft in elevation - Discover Pass required. This trail is very popular, so if you want seclusion avoid this hike. On the weekends and sunny days parking can be an issue so give yourself extra time to find p...

Rattlesnake Mountain Trail

The Rattlesnake Mountain Trail is often associated with Rattlesnake Ledge, one of the busiest hiking destinations around. But most people don't know that you can continue on from Rattlesnake Ledge another 10 miles to Snoqualmie Point Park. Using the Snoqualmie Point Trailhead, this hike is a world away from the hustle and bustle of Rattlesnake Ledge. The trailhead at Snoqualmie Point is rela...

Mt. Si

Mount Si is probably one of the most well trekked hikes around the Seattle area, but one that any hiker-new to the game or an old pro-should experience as least once. I usually use it as a starter hike to kick start the season and highly recommend you get an early start on this one as the further along in the spring and summer you get and the later you take off, the more crowded the trail becom...

Drive Along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River

Some days you don't need to tackle a grueling summit or long mileage loop, just getting outside the city is enough. Driving forest roads is always an adventure and pays its dividend in seclusion, viewpoints, and peacefulness. The Middle Fork Snoqualmie (FR56) offers a photo enthusiast numerous picture perfect locations, a driving fanatic fun twisting roads, and an outdoors lover the natural env...

Teneriffe Falls (Kamikaze Falls)

The lesser known Mt Si Rd trail starts off as a relatively flat road. This continues for two miles until you reach the Teneriffe Falls sign. Upon turning right at this junction, the terrain takes a shift and the incline steepens. This is where most of the elevation is gained. The rest of the way is a series of rocky switchbacks. Be wary of the loose rocks, but don't forget to soak in the beaut...
