"Triple Squak day! Highly recommend walking south of the actual Southeast Peak on the user trail to the slightly lower bump (marked with the summit marker on this map). Excellent mushroom show and even sort of a view at the end." — beaucheminjess • Oct 16, 2021

"A mellow but fun little hike. Took the Big Tree Ridge Trail to the Harvey Manning Trailhead, then up the abandoned road to the summit. Overall rating 5/10, a nice little hike close to Seattle, but plenty of people and no stunning views." — MountainQuest • Oct 2, 2021

"Solo. Primary purpose was to hit 3 of the remaining 5 peaks (all on Cougar Mtn) to complete the Issaquah Alps 24 challenge. Got started early (6:45) since it was Saturday. Cloudy, and sometimes a bit misty. No views at any of the peaks; perhaps a couple of peekaboo views at other points, but hard to tell since it was low clouds. Put on my rain slicker about halfway through, though probably didn't need it. Was pretty quiet for the first half, busier as I was heading down the last mile or so. Interestingly, all the people I saw on the first half were runners, while all the people I saw on the way down were hikers." — danv • Aug 7, 2021

"First time on these peaks, did all three. Nice view from #1 (though was a bit hazy). Didn't know there was a hiker hut--with power!--on #1. Figured out that you don't want to hike over to the viewpoint from the tower area, as the old service road is very overgrown, and the gate near the viewpoint is locked (though you can get around it, it's a bit of a pain)." — danv • Jun 29, 2021

"Opted for an afternoon conditioner up the Cable Line route up West Tiger #3 this afternoon. The trail is muddy and slippery. After one mile in, there is persistent compact snow. I advise bringing poles and microspikes - they will make the last half mile much faster and the descent safer. I donned my spikes only after reaching the summit and wished I had them on for the last push as the going was slower due to increased caution at less than perfect purchase with my trail runners. Note that there are a handful of blowdowns, but nothing creating any measurable obstacles." — markhadland • Feb 27, 2021
