Riverpoint‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 산 정상

Nice little hike in the green.

Your reward for reaching the summit of Mount Washington: Stunning views in all directions. Spare a moment to look down at Chester Morse Lake and Masonry Pool, beneath you; they are water reservoirs for the Puget Sound area.

The old trail up Mailbox Peak earned its fearsome reputation the hard way — sending numerous wayward hikers stumbling into proper wilderness, where they often needed to be rescued. If you want to go up in a hurry, however, this trail does oblige — and you have the option of coming back down on the newer trail, which is longer but much nicer on a hiker's knees. Watch your footing on root ladders, which get very slippery when wet, and mind your footing on steep scrambles. Reflectors attached to trees may help you find your way.

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.

Although Little Si is only 1,550 feet (472 m) in elevation, it offers surprisingly good views of the valley all around you. On a clear day, you also get good views of nearby peaks like Mount Si and Mount Washington.

Your short, steep ascent is complimented by narrow views out of the trees towards the Snoqualmie Middle Fork and Mt. Si.
