Tips from the Community
About 0.24 mile below the summit of Mount Si, this viewpoint on the Mt. Si Trail offers sweeping views of the Snoqualmie Valley through the trees. There are some boulders in the way of the view, but some will scramble around to see the view. Be careful, as veering off trail can be unsafe. The best views are close, at the summit!

According to the Northwest Waterfall Survey, Teneriffe Falls, formerly known as Kamikaze Falls, is 414 feet (126 m) tall. However it falls in several tiers, with the highest measuring 226 feet (69 m) — and some parts of it are obscured by the forest and fallen logs.

Take care on the final push to the summit of Mount Teneriffe; it's a steep, rocky scramble. You are rewarded with stunning views of the valley below, plus of course the surrounding peaks. Look for the distinctive triangle of Mailbox Peak nearby and, on clear days, Mount Rainier in the distance.

Many hikers turn around at the boulder field further down Mount Si, wisely avoiding the scramble up the forbidding Haystack Rock in front of you. That's for good reason: Although there is a scrambling route to the top there are also legitimate, ropes-required rock climbing routes, and it's very easy to find yourself on the wrong route. Even if you stay on the scrambling route, the consequences of a fall from the Haystack would be life-changing if not deadly — and coming back down a scrambling route like this is often surprisingly more difficult than getting yourself up.

This is a great place to stop and have lunch. Usually the final destination for Si climbers. From the point you may continue to the haystack.
