Little Si

We finally got to check out a hiking trail that is a favorite of Seattlites. The 5 mile hike with 1,500 ft. altitude is one of the most popular hiking trails that is a close drive from the city. It's in the town of North Bend, which is in the foothills of the Cascades.

Luckily, being that it was February, the trail wasn't crowded at all.
Apparently in the summer it's packed.
