Grand Canyon of Fifteenmile Creek, Hobart - Middle Tiger Railroad Trail & Middle Tiger — Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022

We hiked from Mirrormont gate on Tiger Mountain Road to south end of Grand Canyon of 15-mile Creek trail.  There is no designated parking near this gate and the road is posted as a no-parking/tow-away zone.  You'll have to walk on the road for about 0.1-0.2 miles to find pull-off parking in either direction on Tiger Mountain Road.  Trail was very secluded and in decent condition with a a couple of step-over trees across trail.  This trail has some point-of-interest signage but doesn't seem to be well maintained.  There was one easy stream crossing past a washed-out bridge.  Hiked to end of existing trail just past abandoned mine shaft.  Trail less than 0.1 miles past this point was washed away impassible.  We backtracked to what turned out to be an improved single-track bike path connecting Grand Canyon Trail to Middle Tiger Railroad Trail.  This path had improved berms and jumps, so be careful of downhill bikers if you choose this path.  We connected with Middle Tiger Trail back to logging roads and back to the Mirrormont gate.  All trails were passable but in need of maintenance.  The bike path appears to be illicit, as the connecting trails were hiker or horse only.
