"I took inspiration from ejain's hike a couple days ago: Route up: High Point Trail to Dwight's Way to W Tiger No 1 to Bootleg to East Tiger Trail. Route down same except Lower Bootleg, Preston Tr and the trail under the power lines (which unfortunately adds 300 ft up, just when you think it's all downhill !)
12+ miles, 2700 ft gain, 9 hours." — markgarrett • Feb 17, 2016
"Yesterday was a big day; I'm still a bit tired. In 13.27 miles I picked up 7 of these Issaquah Alps lovelies. First up was Beaver Hill, then Sally’s Summit and on to East Tiger Mountain along with every Mountain biker in the region (I was told it was Mountain Bike opening day yesterday for this part of Tiger Mountain). Everybody was having a great time.
After Sally’s Summit, I climbed up the NW route of Crossover Road #5500 and then turned left at the East Tiger Summit trail. I loved the trail, but I might recommend skipping this route if you don’t want to get slammed by a mountain biker. I’m not complaining… in fact, I wanted a mountain bike at just that moment. Everyone was having a great time tearing down that trail. Very cool, but watch out if you’re on foot. Alternatively you can just follow the road up to the peak. In any case, the view from the top was pretty amazing. Our very dear Mount Rainier was in full glory yesterday: very impressive.
Specific to East Tiger, I have to say the summit climb leaves a bit to be desired… you’re on a road. But the view makes up for it. And when I left for the next peak I really enjoyed the forested trails as I went NNE and ..." — herdingcats • Apr 13, 2014
"A surprisingly long climb from I-90. Didn't help that took a wrong turn and added 500 vert. So many branches down after recent ice storm made some parts slow going. Also a couple of inches of snow above 2400 ft. Overall went 11 miles / 3000 ft vert... not bad for 20 min from Seattle." — scott • Feb 5, 2012
"After 15 consecutive days of work I decided to take advantage of an unexpected half day by bagging East Tiger. From Tiger Mountain Summit Trailhead we started up Main Tiger Mtn Rd 4000, coming to a T after 2.9 miles. Turning to the right and then left at the next intersection after half a mile brought us to the top for a more than decent view, regardless of the multitude of towers and utility sheds. Considering we never left the road and passed 5 or 6 commercial vehicles, this was a surprisingly pleasant hike. 8 miles round trip/2.5 hrs" — Jeb • Oct 25, 2011
