Staying Found Field Trip - Swamp Foot - 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 5 mile hike with 600 feet of elevation gain where you will practice the principles you've learned.

This route begins at the High Point Trailhead, continues on the Bus Trail to the Nook Trail, then follows the Talus Rocks loop west to Section Line, then north on the Bonneville trail, west on the Swamp Trail to Big Tree, then NE on the Brink Trail and east on the Swamp 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.
