ABOUT THE HIKE

This is the second of a pair of trips ("Phase 2 Double Feature") for people who would like to do more than one hike per week during Phase 2, which allows multiple hikes per week with the same roster.  Participation is limited to people who are also signed up for the West Tiger 2 hike on the preceding Monday.  People signed up for the Tiger 2 trip automatically have Leaders Permission to sign up for this one; no need to ask, just go ahead and sign up.  If fewer than 3 people sign up for this trip it will be cancelled.

We'll start at the trailhead at the southern terminus of the Tiger Mountain Trail and do a clockwise loop around South Tiger Mountain, heading via the South Tiger Traverse Trail and returning via the Tiger Mountain Trail.  We'll also take the small side trip up to the viewless summit of South Tiger.

Most of the trail is multi-use for hikers and equestrians, so we may pass by horses occasionally.
