Volunteers Finish Mount Si Trail Renovation

TUESDAY, 31 OCTOBER 2006

Renovation at Mount Si trail, the most popular trail in the Washington state, was finally completed last weekend.

Volunteers helped in fixing eroded trail beds and muddied switchbacks, contributing a total of 13,000 hours of work and making the renovation cost to $100,000. Volunteers also expanded the trail to accommodate two-way traffic in select areas. The volunteer work was organized by the state Department of Natural Resources and the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust.

The Mount Si trail was established in 1973 by the Mountaineers and was last renovated in 1990. It is located 30 miles east of Seattle, and offers a view of the Seattle area and the Puget Sound at an elevation of 3,500 feet. About 200,000 hikers visit the trail annually.
