getting there

Drive SR-18 to ~7 miles from I-90, turn right onto Tiger Mountain Rd SE, drive ~0.5 mile, and turn right into the Tiger Mountain Trail (TMT) Trailhead.

on the trail

Starting at the southern terminus of the Tiger Mountain Trail circle the South Tiger Mountain Peak and return via a parallel trail. If you are interested you may also follow a short boot path to the no view "summit."
