Hike to Mt. Si's Talus Loop - Moderate-strenuous

Let's hike Mt Si's Talus Loop. It's been a while since I've done this one and the trail has been updated since then, but there are good signs on the way and a detailed description here: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/talus-loop Please note this is a moderate-strenuous hike, please be sure if you can keep up with the group.

All well behaved dogs on leash are welcome! Please keep your dog on a leash.

Please be committed to attending with no last minute no shows or cancellations. No shows/late cancellations are unfair to those on waiting lists and habitual offenders will be removed from future hikes. Always plan on getting home later than estimated.
