Definitely a popular trail, but well worth it on such a rare nice day in the area. People were nice, dogs were well behaved and kids were troopers. I would totally recommend it.

Beautiful views at the top. Other than the mountain views, there were a few small waterfalls. Unfortunately most of these were flowing over the trail. Bring waterproof shoes! Be prepared for snow as the last 1/2 mile with an 45 degree incline is completely covered and rather challenging. After you reach the summit, sliding down is a blast!

Wallace falls
★★★☆☆It was a great hike. I took my 9yo daugther on it for her first hike. The only bad part was I almost fell over a ledge when a fence I was leaning on shifted forward about a foot.
Wet But Worth It!
★★★★★My sister and I hiked Rattlesnake Ledge for the first time today for my birthday. We had an amazing experience although it was pouring rain for most of the hike! We'd concider ourselves "in shape" and moving at a good pace you'll sure get your heart rate up! The trail is very nicely marked and well maintained. There weren't any …

★★★★☆Today was a great day to do the hike, a lot of cars in parking lot but where is the people? Passed more people going down than up so in my experience we had the whole mount. to ourselves, which was great. About a 1/4 way to the top we started getting into snow wich witout crampons its no rush, …
Have hiked Pinnacle Peak several times... views seem to get better each year! Usually see marmots, chipmunks, and deer. Definitely worth the effort-- one of the best trails in the park.

★★★★☆Great outing. Love that I can bring my pup to the trail. She is an older Golden and we have just started hiking - it was a little much for her running free. Will be more sensitive to her needs next time. Quite steep at times. Recommend poles if you are new like me, or if you aren't, they are …
A real workout

Sweat little hike
★★★★☆The hike was short and easy. it was a bit hard at the top as it was all icy with lots of snow. but i suppose in summers with all dry trail its pretty simple.
Lovely views from the top of the ledge. it very very crowded lots of people and pets

★★★★★We loved the hike. Did the hike in october 2008. lots of fallen tails along the trail. took us 3.5hrs up and 2 hrs down. one of the best hikes we have done. the last part of the trail can be slippery.

Tiger Mountain
★★★☆☆sweet little hike, not hard. just walk all the way up. we just followed the road, some how missed the trail entrance from the road. there were lots of mountain bikers. Also there is a great view of mt. rainier.
Little Si
★★★☆☆I have climbed Little Si several times and never tire of it. It is a pretty easy climb as the incline is not bad at all. The last time I hiked it was March, 2009 and was a bit worried that I would be cold but ended up shedding my fleece part of the way up. It is definitely busier …
West Tiger 3
★★★☆☆Hiked this yesterday for my second time. First time I did it was about 7 years ago. I have recently lost 120lbs and found it to be much easier this time but still a strenuous hike due to the incline. It was not nearly as crowded this time of year as it was the last time I hiked it, which …
This is a perfect quick hike. Took me and a buddy 1 hr to ascend with a couple 2 min picture ops. We started at 7:30 AM Sat morning in late March and saw no one until on our way down. Nice view. On the way down, took a 30 min detour to scramble the rock slide - nice, but …
Love it!
★★★★★When I need a quick hike, this is my favorite one to go on. The scenery is beautiful and depending on when you go you can either find yourself in solitude or swarming with people and dogs. If you are going on a weekend, my recommendation is to get there early, start your hike around 7 or 8am. You won't …
I actually went on this hike in the summer, but since I just found this site...
The first part of the trail is very dark and mysterious - there were people filming little creeks and pools for art projects or something. Once you get to the switchbacks.. well, I am not exactly in shape, but it was difficult. There …
Nice winter hike. Tried to reach East Peak about 5 miles from trailhead and hit consistent snow about 3 miles up. The signs pointing to East Peak from the Ledge say 2.5 miles (about 4.5 from head), we walk well over that and there is no East Peak sign or peak to speak of. Well worth the extra few miles …
best hike
★★★★★this is the best hike ever! the views are incredible and the moderation of the hike is just perfect, not too hard and too easy
the hike takes about 5 hrs and is worth every minute of it. the view is an incredible 360 paranoramic view that takes your breath away
there issnow mostly year round, in small …
Rattlesnake Ledge
★★★★☆I would call this the most rewarding of the easier hikes around. It is short, sweet, and has a great view at the top. We hiked a cooler Saturday afternoon in early February and there was still a bit of a crowd, but I'm sure its nothing like on a warm summer day. If you bring a heavy pack and …
Good for beginner
★★★★☆Just moved to Seattle last month and wanted to have a nice easy hike to test out the great Northwest. Little Si was perfect for a peaceful stroll, especially on a beautiful day. I am a beginner hiker and thought is was not difficult by any means. Next time will definitely try something like Mt. Si, a little more challenging. …
You Are Right...
★★★★★You are right, that something is us and we did not want you to be there. Just so happens, my husband and I were scuba diving the same exact day you were up there and jumping in the water, and we just happened to see this crazy flailing body jump in the water, so we tried to pull it down …
Just got back from this hike about an hour ago, my ass hurts! No sugar coating this one, it is difficult, but of course very rewarding.
Great Weekend Hike!
★★★★☆This was great for getting in shape. It was short, and hard at some parts, but the view is amazing. Also leads into some longer hikes if you want to keep going.
November 2008
★★★★☆Did this hike in November. Great short hike, some cool old trees and the lake setting is peaceful and looks to have some great swimming holes.
Somewhat busy along the trail, didn't really see anyone at the top near the lake.

★★★☆☆Tried to do this hike this past Monday. Trailhead is shut down due to construction or cleaning up after a mudslide. They were turning everyone back around.
