"Thought I would hit 7 peaks, but only hit 3. Didn't realize I missed the 2 south peaks. Discovered that there is no hiker trail to Sally's summit or to Beaver Hill. (I did get these four peaks later.)" — danv • Jul 19, 2021

"I hiked from the south end of the Tiger Mountain Trail and hit this little hill on the way to Middle Tiger Mountain peak. It's not much to look at, and it seems they're tearing down the north end of it for rocks or gravel or something." — markgarrett • Sep 22, 2020

"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, then Sally’s Summit and East Tiger Mountain, then Middle Tiger Mountain and then Wright’s Reach. After Middle Tiger Mountain, it’s a long descent down the Middle Tiger Trail, then connecting and more descent along the Tiger Mountain trail. When you get to the closest point to Wright’s Reach along the Tiger Mountain Trail, you’ll follow a cut-off trail (not marked, but called Karl’s Peak Trail on some maps) that heads toward a nearby logging road. That logging road is not on any maps I have and I can tell you why: the logging is fairly recent. The whole of Wright’s Reach has been logged, and any trace of an old boot path to the top is gone. I just followed the logging road up as far as I could and then scrambled the small remaining ascent to the top where I had lunch and enjoyed a wonderful view of Mt. Rainier from the three logs (see pics). I left the summit by way of the logging road that goes off to the SW. I then picked up the Tiger Mountain Trail and turned Left. At the end of the first traverse, you’ll run into a sharp turn in th..." — herdingcats • Apr 13, 2014
