Quick Link

The Quick Link Trail is a short segment in the middle of the east tiger trail system. Tiger Mountain is a dynamic forest owned and managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). As a working forest it creates revenue for the state as well as providing recreation opportunities for hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders.

The quickest way to reach the Quick Link Trail starts at the Tiger Summit trailhead. Take the Connector Trail, cross 4000 Road and continue onto the Northwest Timber Trail. At the first junction, bear left onto the Master Link Trail and head uphill to 5500 Road — this is where the Quick Link Trail begins, roughly 3 miles with 1,000 feet elevation gain from the trailhead.

Over its 0.5 mile course, this trail gently contours a slope before ending at another intersection with access road 5500. For mountain bike riders, they are only allowed to travel in the uphill direction on this trail, whereas hikers can move in both directions. Many other trails in this network are directional in the same way. This trail can be combined with others to form any number of loop hikes, including a trip to the east tiger summit and beyond.
