The Talus Loop is in good condition overall, with most reports indicating snow-free and bug-free conditions in late July and August. However, the road access has varied. As of September 15, the road to the parking lot is in poor condition with large potholes, recommending high clearance vehicles only. Prior reports from August 2 and July 23 stated the road was suitable for all vehicles. Recent observations note the beginning of autumn colors on the maples as of September 15. Teneriffe Falls was dry as of August 2.

As of September 15, the road is in poor condition with many large potholes, and may not be suitable for low clearance vehicles. Prior reports from August 2 and July 23 indicated the road was suitable for all vehicles.
The trail is generally in good condition, though some reports mention it being narrow at times and possibly experiencing some washing out due to recent rain. There has been some overgrowth from tree branches, particularly on the upper Mount Teneriffe Trail, which was noted as slightly annoying but not a problem as of August 2.
Recent reports mention a Northern Pygmy owl and a vocalizing pika at the viewpoint as of September 15. Mountain goats were also spotted at the summit in August 2 and July 12. Curious Barred Owls were seen near the Roaring Creek Trail on July 23.
As of August 2, Teneriffe Falls was dry. It is possible that recent rain may have changed this, but this is the most recent reported condition.

I hike up Mount Teneriffe often enough such that not every trip merits a report, but a few things have changed since my last report-Teneriffe Falls is dry. That may have changed after this afternoon's...
It was a nice cool cloudy day to enjoy the forest. Yesterday was 94 degrees and a bit smokey so this was a nice relief. We started at the Mount Teneriffe TH which makes for a little longer and more s...
There's very little to report that's different than my summits of Mount Teneriffe in May. Fortunately, I had an early start, and got to saunter up Teneriffe before descending via a few different trail...
After looking at the options, we decided to take the Talus Loop trail, which was a shorter trail around the Mount Si region. It branches off from the main trail at Mount Si. It was a pleasant hike but...
Early AM jaunt up to Mt. Si via the Mt. Si trail. Parking lot was a third full at 6:30am. Did the scramble to the top of the Haystack for the first time, very easy but would not recommend for the inex...
Due to the buses not showing up or departing as I arrived, I didn't make it to the Mount Teneriffe trailhead until nearly 1 PM. As such, I figured I'd take the Kamikaze Trail up to the top of Mount Te...
Figured I'd take a chance going to the Mount Si area on a holiday hoping there'd be enough parking spaces. I arrived at Mount Tenerife TH parking lot about 9 am and it was about 25% full, much less c...
We did a one way traverse from the Little Si trailhead (even found a parking spot on a nice Sunday in the main lot!), to the Teneriffe Trailhead using the Boulder Garden loop, the Douglas Fir trail, u...
We arrived at the parking lot around 8:30 a.m. with just a couple other cars in the parking lot. It was overcast and drizzling and we were uncertain how far we would get. We started out on the Mt Te...
