The ascent of Mount Teneriffe via the Kamikaze Trail is a thrilling and rigorous ridge-summit adventure in the Mount Si Natural Resources Conservation Area near North Bend, Washington. You’ll begin on forested logging-road grade toward Teneriffe Falls, then shift into the “Kamikaze” section—an unrelenting climb, often steep and exposed, straight up toward the ridge crest. Higher up, you’ll traverse a ridge with sparse vegetation, loose rock, and dramatic exposure before reaching the summit at ~4,788 ft, which rewards you with sweeping views of Mount Rainier, Glacier Peak, the Cascades, and surrounding ridges.
Trailhead Directions: From I-90, take exit 32 (436th Avenue SE). Turn left (north) over the freeway and drive 0.5 miles to SE North Bend Way. Turn left (west), and in 0.25 mile turn right (north) on SE Mount Si Road. In 2.9 miles (past the Little Si and Mount Si trailheads), you will reach a 70-car paved parking area on the left.
