Ah, Little Mt. Si! Letterbox
Planted on July 25, 2004 by Keegan the Airedale Terrier, Piper, Toast Boy and Loud Eyes.
Day Hikers Only
No Bicycles or Horses
This is a 5-mile roundtrip hike.
1,200 feet gained in elevation.
This Letterbox is missing as of June 14th, 2008.
The top of Little Mt. Si (pronounced sigh) is 1,576 feet above sea level.
The trail has some steep sections with roots and rocks that require hand holds. Hiking time roundtrip is approximately 3 to 4 hours. Be sure to take the 10 essentials plus water and/or your favorite beverage. Older children will have fun; may be a bit much for younger children. A camera and binoculars will come in handy. Colored markers will make the rubber stamped image cooler!
Alive and well March 15, 2005
Driving directions:
Drive I-90 to the town of North Bend and take exit 31 into town. Turn right heading east on the main drag of North Bend Way. Just east of town turn left, heading north on Mount Si Road (432nd SE). Cross the bridge over the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River. Bear right just past the bridge and drive a 1/4 mile more to the new parking lot on the left (which has a new outhouse). If the lot is full, you can park back at the old lot next to the bridge and walk to the trailhead.
This is the first letterbox planted in an eventual series along the trail to the summit of Little Mt. Si. Clues will be added to this webpage, once other letterboxes are in place. Please stay tuned!
From the parking lot, follow the signs to the top of Little Mt. Si. The trail snakes through a beautiful forest and past rock faces used by rock climbers.
Once on top, take in the nearly 180 degree view of the Snoqualmie River Valley, Snoqualmie Pass, McClellan Butte, Mailbox Peak, Rattle Snake Ledge (home of the first letterbox planted in Washington), North Bend, and of course Mt. Si.
Clues:
Embedded in the rock at the top of Little Si are two metal, round National Geodetic Survey Reference Markers. The northern most marker is at the highest point of Little Si. Search for the second marker approximately 20 paces towards the south. Stand on top of the southern lower marker and take a compass bearing of 250 degrees magnetic. Scramble down hill in this direction for approximately 20 to 25 paces. Look for a blown down tree with a root ball. Inside the protected root ball is a rock cairn that contains the Ah, Little Mt. Si! Letterbox.
This is my seventh planted letterbox. Please email me with any questions or comments at Keegan62002@yahoo.com.
