This is a CHS 2 hike and will be led at an overall pace of 2.0-2.5 mph. This is a very popular trail and we will come across many other hikers/trail runners/people hiking with (leashed) dogs
We will climb to West Tiger #3 via a slightly alternate route. Our ascent will start on the Nook trail, we will cut back to the West Tiger #3 main trail via the Talus Rocks trail, then continue to the summit on the main trail.
This hike is a steady consistent climb. We'll plan on moving consistently with few breaks on the way up besides clothing adjustments. At the summit we will have a break and a snack, and hopefully some views, before descending the way we came.
Meet at the trailhead at 7:30 am ready to hike at that time.
More information will be sent with the Hello Hiker email.
