"While I've been to South Tiger several times now, this is the first time I actually summitted the two peaks. #2 (the southern peak) is a pain to summit! It was logged some time ago, and now it's a mess of downed trees, underbrush, branches, sticker bushes, etc. No defined path. Very difficult right near the summit. On the plus side, it's only a few hundred feet scramble from the service road below. The north peak does have a narrow path to the top from the end of the service road that is between it and the south peak. No view from the north peak. The best view is from the road just south of the southern peak ("#2")." — danv • Aug 4, 2021

"Planned a loop route to summit the & peaks of East, Middle, and South Tiger Mountain, the remaining peaks on Tiger Mountain as part of the Issaquah Alps 24 list I needed to bag. This part of Tiger Mountain is designed for Mountain Bikes and has a wonderful network of graded trails like ski runs green, blue, black, etc. Beyond the first mile or so from the TH, most of the trails are a mix of gravel access and former logging roads. Much of South Tiger was logged recently and the land looks terrible, the route to Middle Tiger has areas slated for cutting. Honestly, I would not recommend hiking much of this area unless you want to bag the peaks. The route down East Tiger has some nice areas, but other than that is a mix of trails through the clear cut, restored forest, and gravel roads. I only saw people as I descended down East Tiger and the rest of the mountains and trails was deserted. Middle Tiger had a nice trail up - lots of interesting moss on the trees and some wood and rock structures that spooked me out as I was alone - a little Blair Witchesque for my preference. With the exception of a small stream a couple of miles into the route to South Tiger, there were no viabl..." — markhadland • Aug 29, 2020

"Yesterday was a big day; I'm still a bit tired. Though, that's what these little training hikes are all about. In 13.27 miles I picked up 7 of these Issaquah Alps lovelies. First up was Beaver Hill, then Sally’s Summit and East Tiger Mountain, then Middle Tiger Mountain, Wright’s Reach, South Tiger #1 and finally South Tiger #2. The boot path from South Tiger #1 seems like a very easy way to reach South Tiger #2. One of my maps shows another direct boot path to #2, and I did see it at the top of South Tiger #2. I just think if you’re already at South Tiger #1, why not do a quick traverse over to #2 since it’s so easy? In any case, I left a short Cairn marker on the South Tiger Traverse trail (after the South Tiger Traverse changes from a road to a trail, but before it ascends to South Tiger #1). Obviously the Cairn is on the South side of the trail. This boot path is a little more than a typical boot path, but not yet a full-fledged trail. It’s a little hard to spot from the side of the South Tiger Traverse trail, but once you get on it I find it’s very simple to navigate to the top. Once there you’ll find both a peak marker (see pic), a Geocache and no views at all. ..." — herdingcats • Apr 13, 2014
