This will be a classic loop to West Tigers 1 and 2 starting from the "Lower High Point" Trailhead, down the gated road at the 4-way intersection next to the freeway off ramp. We will hike up various trails to the summit ridge of West Tiger 1 then hike to Hiker's Hut, then follow the road to West Tiger 2, which has grand 360 degree views due to the clearcuts. We will then hike down back across Murat's Bridge to complete the loop.

This is a conditioning hike that will have limited breaks aside from the summits and viewpoints, but the pace will be a moderate 2 mph uphill and faster 2.5-3 mph downhill. Participants are welcome to pack extra weight for training purposes, as long as it does not slow you down below group pace.

The leader is also a scrambling leader, and I encourage climbers and scramblers to join to get in a solid conditioning hike with me! But this hike is open to all other hikers, as well!

9:00am, intersection of 79th St and 270th Ave, next to I-90 exit 20 EB off-ramp

I recommend displaying a Discover Pass just to be safe, but I do not think it is required when parking along the road
