This is second only to Cable Line as a way to go up to West Tiger 3 and is pretty tough for a short hike so be prepared! We go up for a little over 2 miles via Nook Trail to West Tiger 3 summit and then if the weather allows we will then go to visit Joe's Memorial between West Tiger 3 and 2 so you can learn about a hidden gem on the mountain. We will start down via the West Tiger 3 Trail but then turn onto Section Line to visit another Tiger gem - the Talus Rocks. Then we will finally go all the way out via the lower part of Nook Trail. I say: Let's have fun on West Tiger 3 :-)
