"Did this hike to get these two peaks. Sally's Summit has a short trail (0.2 mile) to it from the service road, but it's a mountain-bike only trail, so you have to either flout the rules, or scramble up. I flouted the rules. Beaver Hill has no trail to it. The shared "Crosshaul" mountain bike/hiking trail skirts the hill, so I scrambled up the 400 feet or so (100 feet vertical) to the top. No view on either of these summits." — danv • Aug 3, 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. In 13.27 miles I picked up 7 of these Issaquah Alps lovelies. First up was Beaver Hill. I started from the Hwy 18 parking lot. See my Beaver Hill report for more details.
Sally’s Summit was the next peak to climb on my East Tiger extravaganza yesterday. I had just come off of Beaver Hill by way of the NNW exit, and then climbed the logging roads to get to the Sally’s Summit access trail. As you climb up the logging road, you’ll pass through a gate, and then you’ll see a rock on the left side of the road. I’ve attached a picture of the access trail here. You’ll see the rock I’m mentioned on the left side of the picture. Look closely and you’ll see my trek poles on the right side of the pic. There is a boot path both in front of the rock and in front of the trek poles. I recommend the one in front of the trek poles, but they both get you to the same place.
This short little summit climb was one of the most pleasant of the day in my opinion. There was no view at the top, but the forested climb and steep slopes to either side of the ridge climb were just beautiful. I may also have extra-fond memories due to my general d..." — herdingcats • Apr 13, 2014
"A last minute trip in the late afternoon... ran/hiked (rhiked) all the way up the Tiger Mountain Road to the short spur trail to Sally's. The spur is flagged with red tape and starts to the west of the gate next to a solo boulder on the edge of the road (directly to the east of the green trailer). Once you duck into the woods, the spur trail takes an immediate sharp left and parallels the road for a few feet before climbing up to the right (don't be tricked by other red tape on trees all over the place). The summit yields no views; even the sign mentioned in the past is gone. Only reason to ever come up here is to advance in the Issaquah Peaks Challenge (sorry Sally)." — scott • Apr 2, 2014
"Headed up to Sally's Summit from the Summit Trailhead. Hit some soft snow about a mile from the peak. More than I expected. I was sinking up to my knees until we got off the road that heads toward East Tiger and onto the Sally's Summit Trail. If you take the Main Tiger Mountain Road towards East Tiger, and take a right instead of a left at the last fork before you reach East Tiger summit, you will find the Sally's Summit Trail just past a gate, on the right side of the road, before the road starts to descend. The start of the trail is flagged. In just a few minutes you will find yourself at Sally's Summit, marked with a wooden sign on a tree. " — Al-Rashid • Mar 24, 2012
