Let's explore Tiger 1 and 2, hopefully with a view of Mt. Rainier and twisty-turns past Dwight's Way and Ruth's Cove for a few very brief photo opportunities. We'll take a longer snack break at Tiger 1 before continuing to Tiger 2 and loop back down from there.
Meet at Exit 20 Frontage Road – High Point Trailhead just as you exit the off-ramp at 7 a.m. Directions will follow. I have a blue Mazda CX-5 and plan to arrive by 6:50. We’ll do introductions and stretches and start walking by 7:10.
Trailhead Co-ordinates: 47.5304, -121.9794.
