February Winter Conditioning Run: 6+ miles - West Tiger Mountain No. 3 Cable Line

Meet at 4:45 pm at the Cable Line trailhead sign. Note that the parking area is on the side of the road *before* the gate that leads to the High Point parking lot. No parking passes required. There are no bathrooms at the trailhead - the nearest outhouse is near the High Point parking lot.

Directions: From I-90, a few miles east of Issaquah, take Exit 20 for High Point and turn south on 270th Ave SE. Just a few yards south of I-90, turn right onto SE 79th St and continue on west. The trail head is in ~0.3 miles, *before* the gate to parking lot.

This route will cover Cable Line, Tiger #3, Tiger #2, and a loop around Tradition Lake.

Cable Line is one of the best conditioners! We will be covering ~7 1/4 miles and 2,764 feet of elevation gain. Since the trail up can be steep, we will hike uphill at a moderate pace. Once at the summit, we will pause for a brief snack and hydration break, change shirts if you so desire (can get cold quick), and then hike over to Tiger #2. We can then jog down West Tiger #2 Trail, West Tiger RR Grade, and then West Tiger #3 - which is a fantastic trail to go down. Once we reach the bottom, we will do a quick loop around Tradition Lake. Please bring headlamp since we will be starting in the dark!
