Prime Time Hike - Teneriffe Falls
Thursday, May 7 – Teneriffe Falls
https://maps.app.goo.gl/V3m4JnyicWm4cafn8
Few trails near North Bend carry as much charm as Teneriffe Falls. In May, with snowmelt roaring down the mountain, these falls explode in a dramatic cascade — a true spectacle of water and stone. This 6-mile round trip with about 1,600 feet of gain offers a full spring workout and one of the region’s most refreshing payoffs.
The history of Teneriffe traces back to the early logging days, when rough trails carved the slopes of Mount Teneriffe. Today, the new trail makes for a gentler, more scenic ascent. Instead of steep gravel roads, hikers can now climb through switchbacks of forest that reveal glimpses of the valley below.
The path climbs steadily but not harshly, winding through hemlock, cedar, and fir. As we approach the falls, the sound of water grows, until finally we emerge at the base of the torrent — mist spraying, moss gleaming, and the roar filling our ears.
In early May, this is spring at its peak. Rushing creeks cross the trail, the forest is lush with green, and the air is cool with spray. Expect wet boots, muddy paths, and the exhilaration of seeing the falls at their fullest force.
Tenderfooters know that few things match the joy of sharing a powerful waterfall in spring. It’s nature in motion, reminding us of both strength and renewal.
We’ll meet at the Mount Teneriffe trailhead at 9:00 a.m. A Discover Pass is required. Wear waterproof boots, bring poles for the descent, and prepare for a morning of pure Cascadian magic.

We'll meet in the far north end of the north parking lot at the Green Lake Park and Ride, and directly under the I-5 freeway at 8 am. Since we are heading east, we can also stop off at the Eastgate Outback Steakhouse at 8:30 am to either pick up additional riders or further coordinate rideshares. Rideshare for the day is $11 per person from the Green Lake Park n Ride and $7 per person from the Eastgate Outback Steakhouse and is paid to the driver of the vehicle.
Green Lake Park and Ride: 8 am, $11
Eastlake Outback Steakhouse: 8:30 am, $7
Our estimated time of arrival at the trailhead is: 9:00 am
Yes, there are two separate fees regarding this event. The event fee is $15, and then a rideshare if you are riding as a passenger with a driver.
Sorry, no doggies are allowed at any Tenderfoot Adventures events as per our insurance policy. We all love our fur babies, and I am sure that yours is amazing as well, but alas, there are no doggies allowed at any of our events.
