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. Still, it’s a nice little trip that I certainly enjoyed.

And that’s it! One day, 13+ miles, 7 peaks, some great views and good times.
