"A very worthwhile peak. Took the Tyler Peak Trail all the way to the top, which has incredible views on the last mile along the ridge crest. Overall rating 8/10, stunning views on a clear day and a great alternative to Baldy" — MountainQuest • Aug 29, 2021
"Getting to this trail is a bit complicated. The first turn off of hwy 101 is on the west side of Sequim bay,a few miles
east of Sequim. There is a sign directing you to the Dungeness trails down Louella rd.after about a mile you will reach
a"t"in the road, turn left into Palo alto rd.follow signs for Dungeness trails (not Dungeness creek camp)at the next two
forks then turn right onto a road signed "Trail 816" about 15 miles from hwy 101. The"trailhead"is at the end less than
1.5 miles past the fork.
The trail to Tyler Peak is not on the Green Trails Map.It starts just past the turn-around on the right. The first mile and
a half is mostly under canopy and is incredibly steep, with only a few short switch-backs along the way. After emerging
from the trees the trail quickly fades into the open meadows, which are scattered with huge marmot holes. Ahead to the
North is Tyler's Western ridge, from which the false summit can be seen to the Northwest(the real one is hiding just behind
it). A small bootpath comes and goes but the way from here isn't at all difficult to find. The last push to the summit
requires a bit of a light scramble, just enough..." — Jeb • Sep 2, 2012
