High Point Trail, Lingering Trail & Cable Line Trail — Thursday, Jun. 19, 2025

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain
High Point trail

The first time I could not find the High Point trail, I was a bit frustrated. I tried again this week and realized you have to walk all the way down the paved road behind the gate (about a quarter mile) and the trail starts there. I enjoyed the privacy of this hike as I was doing a small grief ritual for myself here. I lingered on the Lingering trail for a bit which was a bit steeper but dry but did not make it all the way to connect with the Tiger Mountain trail.

The next day I came back to do some recording and really enjoyed the section of the trail that continues on to the Tiger Mountain trail (keep right at the intersection with the Lingering trail). It started coming down pretty hard as I crossed Murat's Bridge...I didn't realize there was even a bridge on Tiger Mountain until then, and it is a nice one! I went down the Cable Line trail on the way back and would not recommend it...it is very steep and I almost slipped a few times even with decent boots because it was raining.
