Little Si Trail Maintenance

Looking for a way to get a training hike while caring for our beloved Washington trails? This event is for you!

Our work will include carrying buckets of gravel, addressing drainage issues on the trail, and possibly some restoration of impacted areas along the trail. Adding gravel to key areas will enable this very popular trail to be resilient to years of recreation.

For safety, volunteers are required to wear:

• Long pants (we’ll be working with tools, so no shorts!)
• Sturdy, close-toed shoes (absolutely no sandals)
• Gloves

In addition, we recommend that participants bring:

• Warm layers, especially during the fall, winter, and spring
• Rain gear
• Big sack lunch
• Water for the day (3 liters minimum)
• Small daypack for lunch, extra layers, etc.

The Little Si Trail is a popular hiking trail in North Bend, Washington, located in the western foothills of the Cascade Range. It’s often considered a "little sibling" to the more challenging Mount Si Trail nearby. This hike offers a moderate challenge with beautiful scenery, making it a favorite for locals and visitors alike. A popular destination for both hikers and rock climbers, the moderately difficult 2.1-mile trail climbs 1,200 feet and offers great views of the Snoqualmie Valley, Mount Si, Rattlesnake Mountain, and the surrounding peaks.

This is a relatively new trail built in 1985. Due to the high numbers of hikers that use this trail annually, regular trail maintenance is needed. Greenway volunteers have contributed thousands of hours to bring this trail up to more sustainable standards, including building rock turnpikes and steps, repairing drainage, and replacing signs.
