Hike 33: South Tiger Mountain

In my mission to do all the tiger mountain summits, South Tiger got me 3/4 of the way there! South Tiger mostly done via an old logging road. It starts out with a nice forest trail up to an old logging road.

After going up several logging road switchbacks, the trail cuts off, and traverses areas that have been logged. The trail is pretty overgrown, and in the fall there are spiderwebs everywhere!

Standing at a cliffside where the power lines go down.

On the way back I realized that I could take the logging road most of the way back down…to avoid spiders, I did exactly this.

At the top, there is a little collection of stumps at the lookout point. Today there was a beautiful view of Rainier.
