On Saturday, the 26th, I did a Tiger Mountain hike with Ken and Greg. We did the standard route up the Section Line to Nook but then went up the very steep Section Line route to Tiger 3. We didn’t go all the way to the summit, but went west on the Railroad Grade Trail until it met the Poo Poo Point trail, and we went back down that way.
About 7.75 miles and 2,300 feet of elevation gain.
Yesterday, Derek and I planned a big hike on and near Mt. Washington but we didn’t get started until almost 6pm because Jill’s hair appointment took five hours! I didn’t mind, I got to hang out with Camden (Fin got back from school about 3:30 and did homework, hung out with pals, etc.) and spend a little time with Finley.
So we downsized our hiking plans and instead drove to the nearby Snoqualmie Point trail head and headed up. We got about a mile past Stan’s Overlook, through the amazingly gorgeous forest above Stan’s (nice second growth, really special place to be) and turned around. I was using my head lamp for the last twenty minutes or so, and it was raining pretty hard by that time as well.
Still, a fun day and a nice hike.
