• Notes: 
• The route could be cut short if go through the Mount SI - MT Teneriffe connector trail as described in this meetup (but better to stay on ridges when snow is not stable) and skip the mount SI peak. We could also put two cars on both Mount SI and Mount Teneriffe trailheads to skip the walking on road. If we skip mount SI peak and the road, the round trip will be 12 miles.
• Here it was recommended: "Be sure to go to the north summit as well. Going in winter or spring is recommended as some reports show heavy brush in summer."
