Meeting time 9:00am at the gate near the corner of S.E. 79th St / 270th Ave S.E.
Tiger 3 will be our destination and we will tag Tiger 2 on the way.
Trip will be approximately 9 miles with 2300 feet of elevation gain. Moderate pace (2.0 mph). We will make a loop - ascending via the Lingering Trail and descending using the W Tiger 3 and K-3 trails.
I expect to hit snow on the trail so microspikes are required. If there is a significant amount of snow, we will modify the route to stay in lower terrain.
We will be parking on the access road that parallels I-90 so no parking pass is required.
