We'll start with a little warm up by taking a short trail from our parking area to the main parking lot. We'll then proceed to the Hiker's Hut at the summit of Tiger Mountain #1 and break for lunch. If the weather cooperates, we'll have a nice view of Mount Rainier. From there, we'll head down to Tiger Mountain #2 and then to the more familiar Tiger #3 and head back down to the trailhead.

Expect a moderate 2-2.5 mph pace. Trekking poles recommended.
