Another lovely sunny day of the fall, 66-70F in the shade, 80F under the sun. Parking place is on the other side of the trailhead, can hold about a dozen cars, but when I arrived and left, there was only one other than mine. The trailhead is easy to miss, but if you see the school bus yellow sign, that's the trailhead (there is a big tree root). The trail (mainly TMT) is in very good condition, well maintained with overgrown cut, gentle incline, wide and smooth, but the east-side horse trail of the small loop (see the map) is not maintained with thick overgrown. While going to the north end of the small loop, turn left and then turn right on to the steep service road with the sign "South Tiger Traverse Trail". The service road leads to the power line opening, where there is the awesome view to the west, including Olympic Mountains. Then, follow the dirt trail (not service road) up into the forest again. The northern part of the trail is low trees with view to the west and the north. Then, I took the service road up to the end, and take a look at the other Tiger Mountain summits (Middle, East). The return trip takes TMT on the eastern side of South Tiger back to the trailhead (crossing a short section of service road). Few people hike this part of trails, so traffic is very light.
