Additional Information

An increasingly popular route to Teneriffe (formally known as Kamikaze) Falls, near Mount Si, currently follows a narrow boot path that hugs the creek on its steep upward ascent. In order to avoid further erosion and creek damage, the Department of Natural Resources and the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust have constructed a new trail to Teneriffe Falls that provides sweeping views of the surrounding valley, a challenging climb, frequent views of the creek, and access to the base of the falls. The new trail provides increased access and a more sustainable route for hikers.
