Nook Trail going up to West Tiger #3 is shorter and much harder than doing the standard West Tiger #3 trail so be ready! We will go potentially as slow as 1.5 mph going up so all can stay together. But I love the challenge of this trail. Then we will visit a memorial to Joe between Tiger 3 and 2, and then go down West TIger #3 trail until Section Line. There we take a left to add a bit more to tour the mountain's fun highlights and extend the hike to 7 miles or so. Be ready for a challenge up but then seeing some fun unexpected stuff at both the top and then also on the way down. Tiger really can be fun if you know where to look!
