Overview

Mount Teneriffe – or Mount Teneriffic, as we like to call it – boasts two adventures in one: a moderately difficult hike to towering Kamikaze Falls, and a rewarding summit experience for those crazy enough to continue on to the top. We highly recommend both, but you'll need to be in solid shape to even consider the latter. 

Permits & Tips

Discover Pass required. No toilets (although you could use the one at Mount Si, one mile back down the road). No water at trailhead either – consider filtering water from the falls if desperate. The small parking lot gets very crowded on sunny summer weekends. We advise you come early and park legally as police frequently monitor the area. Sometimes nearby families open up their properties to park for a fee. Trekking poles are helpful for coming back down the steep trail from the summit. Also, be sure to have good traction on the upper section of this trail and consider snow cleats if you attempt the summit in early season.
