Prime Time Hike - Nook Trail
Thursday, May 21 – Nook Trail
https://maps.app.goo.gl/cA8QGCJjDitHgK2R8
Spring’s soft breath lingers on the moss-covered flanks of Mount Si, and the Nook Trail rises like a secret among the better-known paths. Fewer footprints mark this steep and steady climb, making it a favorite for those who crave solitude and the rhythmic pulse of heart and earth working together. The forest here is old and quiet, its floor quilted in fern and sorrel, and its canopy dense with evergreens that whisper of patience and endurance.
The Nook Trail was once part of a maze of routes carved by loggers and miners in the early 1900s—men who saw the mountain not for its beauty but for its timber and gold. Nature, however, reclaimed it. The old skid roads softened under moss, the dynamite holes filled with rain and frog song, and what remains now is a green corridor of redemption, where the forest has rewritten its own story.
This 6-mile round trip climbs about 2,000 feet, a steady ascent that rewards you with a wide overlook of the Snoqualmie Valley below. It’s a compact challenge—steep enough to make you work, short enough to leave room for lingering. Expect wet patches, early summer rain puddles in shaded gullies, and the song of robins echoing from unseen branches.
By late May, the forest hums with new life. Trillium bloom beside the trail, streams run full, and the air carries the mineral scent of stone and rain. It’s a day for slow steps and deep breaths.
This is a hike for those who love the intimacy of being wrapped in forest—a reminder that wonder doesn’t always require distance, only attention.
Bring trekking poles for the descent, waterproof boots, layers for changeable weather, and your favorite trail snack for the summit pause. We’ll meet at 8:45 a.m. at the High Point trailhead lot—look for the group gathered near the trail sign.
