Staying Found Field Trip - Easy Peasy - Tiger Mountain Lowlands

This 5-hour session, held at Tiger Mountain State Forest out of the High Point trailhead, begins at the High Point Education Shelter area with a map and compass exercise and a trip planning review, and continues with a 3-5 mile hike with 200 feet of total elevation gain, where you will practice the principles you've learned.

This is the easiest of the Staying Found field trip routes, for people with limited time or who need a shorter less strenuous hike.  From the High Point trailhead, the route follows the Puget Power trail to the Swamp Trail, the Brink Trail to the Adventure trail, then connecting to the Bonneville Trail, Wetlands Trail and Puget Power Trail, and finally taking the Around-The-Lake trail back to the High Point trailhead.

We will meet at the Traditional Lake Shelter at 9 a.m. Please arrive 15-30 minutes early to get a parking space.  Drivers will need a Discover Pass.  

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 to the end of the road, which ends in a large parking lot. Look for the sign for the shelter.
