High Point Trail, Tiger Mountain Trail — Sunday, Jun. 20, 2004

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain

This was an Issaquah Alps sponsored hike which started at High Point parking lot proceeding the 1st 3 miles on the TMT and then wandering down the High Point Creek trail head back to the road. Since I have last been on these trails several things have changed and been improved. 1. A number of new bridges span the creeks on the TMT in this section, the attached photo being the last and longest of the bridges. 2. New trails have emerged as cut offs that allow a faster ascent to the West Tiger Ridge (the K3 trail). 3. There are new trail signs which help greatly at junctions and should help from getting off on the wrong trail. Our group did this anyway but the signs helped confirm we made a mistake. The TMT is in excellent shape with only a slight amount of mud on the tred. The trail is tree covered making it a great hike in the hot weather that marked this day.
