Route and trailhead

From the Mount Teneriffe Trailhead, follow the signed route through low-elevation forest and continue on the steadily climbing trail toward the summit. The upper route becomes steeper and rougher near the summit ridge. A side trip to Teneriffe Falls adds distance and elevation and is not included in the stated mileage.

Conditions and preparation

Carry ample water, food, navigation tools, and extra layers. Snow, ice, and avalanche hazards can persist on the upper mountain outside the main hiking season. A Discover Pass is generally required at this Washington Department of Natural Resources trailhead; confirm current requirements and closures before traveling.
