One-View Trail, Poo Poo Point & West Tiger 3 — Saturday, Jun. 23, 2001

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain

This hike involved about a 12 mile loop and was done to complete the last section of TMT I had not hiked. The day started cool and overcast. The hike to One View Trail via the Poo Poo Point trail was uneventful. The Poo Poo Point trail to the West Tiger Railroad being in excellent shape. About half way to the TMT, (0.5 miles) on the One View Trail, rain began to fall lightly. Within the next half mile the light rain turned to a realy shower so got my rain gear on and started on the TMT down to the 15 mile railroad trail. Tiger Mountain Trail (TMT) was somewhat brushy but for the most part in good shape and easy to follow. By the time I arrived at the Paw Print Rest Stop, the rain had stopped and I sat for a lunch break. Walked the road to West Tiger 2 and then took the trail down to West Tiger 3 and returned via the West Tiger 3 trail to the High Point parking lot. Rain again began to fall on the bottom part of the WT#3. This is a nice loop with elevation gain and some views. Weather on my hike was not great but did not stop my enjoyment of the area. Hiking time about 5 hours including about 45 minutes for lunch and equipment change breaks.
