Review:
Located in the center of the Issaquah Alps, Washington State, Tiger Mountain has six peaks between Squak Mountain, Cougar Mountain, Mc Donald and Taylor Mountains, and Rattlesnake Ridge. Tiger Mountain State Forest is a working forest established in 1981. The Issaquah Plateau in the northwest corner of Tiger Mountain is protected as the West Tiger Mountain Natural Resources Conservation Area. It can be accessed from a trailhead at exit 20 on I-90.
The most popular destination for hikers is the summit of West Tiger number 3, reached by a busy, steep 6.2 miles round trip trail with elevation change of 2000 feet. This fabulous hike offers breathtaking views of Seattle. Similar views can be enjoyed from the nearby peaks West Tiger number 2 and West Tiger number 1. Another popular destination is Poo Poo Point, a ridge of West Tiger Mountain, a favorite launch spot for hang gliding and paragliding. Many trails on Tiger Mountain are wide and gentle, built on the remnants of 1920s logging railroads.
