Mt Si Winter Hike

View of Mt Si from North Bend this morning, was hoping to get some views from the top, but that cloud came down instead.

 Nice conditioning hike in the winter. 8 miles rt with 3,200 ft of elevation gain.

 This hike is in the woods, but they are nice woods. I love the moss hanging from the branches.

 Some morning fog, before it started to lightly rain,

 and then snow. I think we ran into snow on the trail about 2-1/2 miles up the trail.

 The snow got deeper, the higher we went.

 Almost to the top, this last bit was a bit slippery.

 Not much of a view, but so happy to be outside and hiking!

This is a very popular trail, so there were lots of gray jays hanging around. 

 They would dive in, even if it was only a small crumb that fell.

 A couple of mossy trees that caught my fancy:
