Backcountry Trail Run - West Tiger Mountain 1-2-3
5 Summits in one day. Visit 5 of the 7 summits of Tiger in a single push. Adding in Middle Tiger Summit as I'm sure some of you need to cross this off your peak bagger list.

This will be a moderate pace with a mix of fast hiking up steep hills and jogging (10-15 min miles). If you're concerned about pace feel free to reach out. I'm pretty accommodating just want to get the miles in so don't mind going slower than the stated pace.
Please make sure you have done similar distance/elevation runs recently. We will regroup at all trail junctions and summits. Below are the specifics for the route:
- Cable line up to West Tiger 3
- Traverse over to West Tiger 2
- Traverse over to West Tiger 1
- Run the Main Tiger Logging road over to Middle Tiger
- Take the Middle Tiger Trail down
- Run the West Site Logging road over to Poo Poo Point
- Run down the Poo Poo Point trail to the bus trail to the Tiger 3 Trail head
- Run the unnamed trail back to the Cable line trailhead
