Little Si is a hill in the US state of Washington, named after its taller neighbor, Mount Si. It has an elevation of 1,576 feet (480 m), or 1,053 feet (321 m) above its base.[1] It lies on the western margin of the Cascade Range just east of the town of North Bend. Little and Big Si were named after local homesteader Josiah "Uncle Si" Merritt.
Little Si is a distinct mountain peak from Mount Si, with a different trailhead and a valley that separates the two peaks. The Little Si trailhead is at approximately .[2] The hike up to the top is an easy hike that the whole family can do. The trail climbs up from the parking lot and then levels out and goes through the slot between Mt. Si and Little Si. The final climb is from the north side up to the top.[3]
Little Si is also known for its rock climbing and bouldering.[4][5]
