TMT through hike from the southern terminus to the High Point trailhead. Started at 8:30a and finished at 4p. Many blowdowns from the Nov 2024 bomb cyclone along the Holder Creek section, but DNR crews have done amazing work here and the trail was in great shape.
The west side of Middle Tiger Mt has been recently logged (good maps here: https://www.issaquahalps.org/articles/2024/6/3/tree-tip-timber-sale-amp-trail-closures), so we detoured down Middle Tiger Trail. Despite the signs saying Middle Tiger is "completely wiped out" and there is "no evidence of a path," we had no trouble. The trail is overgrown, but we didn't need a GPS for navigation.
We followed the Hobart Railroad Grade north until it rejoined the TMT, then continued without issue. Beautiful trillium in many spots. Only encountered six other people the whole day.
