Mt Si Hike - Sunday 06.12.2011

I can't believe I grew up where I did, and never hiked Mt Si before. It's a longer hike at 8 miles round-trip; compare that to the 6 miles of Mailbox Peak and 9 miles for Camp Muir. The elevation gain is 3,300 vertical feet, less than that of Mailbox (~4,000) and Camp Muir (~4,700).

For the first hike of the season, I probably should have tried something easier (2 days later, my legs are still sore). I had planned on hiking Rattlesnake instead with some hiking newbies (which is just a 4 mile round-trip and 1,175 elevation gain), but when they canceled last minute, I went with another group of friends to Mt Si.

We arrived right at 10 AM, and there was plenty of parking in the lot.

I'm used to getting to the top of a hiking trail and turning around and coming right back down, especially on the Tiger Mountain hike where you usually don't see anything. But Mt Si was different. We spent an hour just playing around on rocks and enjoying the view. I definitely wanted to stay longer. We could have tried climbing the additional 300 feet to get to the very tip of the rock, but I brought my dog and didn't think he should go any further.

The good news is, hiking season is finally here! Being in Seattle, we need to take advantage of every bit of sun we get.

Distance : 8 miles round trip

Time : 2.5 hours up, 1.5 hours down.

Elevation Gain : We started at around 700 feet, and went up to just under 4,000 feet, for a gain of 3,300 feet.

Whistler Bachelor Party Weekend - January 2011

Whistler-Blackcomb Bachelor Party - January 2011 from Jin Lee on Vimeo.


What a great weekend at Whistler. Great snow, great friends, huge mountain, fun nightlife and met a lot of cool people as well. And the best surprise, our "mediocre" Seahawks gave us probably the most entertaining game of football of our lives.
