TBD

We will hike up West Tiger 1 via the High Point and Preston trails and take a break near (or in!) Hiker’s Hut, depending on the weather. We will then descend slightly before climbing West Tiger 2 and enjoying the views. We will hike back via West Tiger 2 Trail, West Tiger Railroad Grade, and K-3 and will eventually join up with the Tiger Mountain Trail. Heading north, we will cross the impressive Murat’s Bridge and then join up with our original trail.
