West Tiger 3 Strenuous hike

Hi Folks,
This one was requested by Randi, so we're going to do West Tiger 3.
It's not for the faint of heart as the numbers below indicate:


Length 5.0 miles, roundtrip


Elevation Gain 2,100 feet


Highest Point 2,525 feet

Randi assures me the view is worth it.
I've not done this hike in years, so times are very much estimated

5:00 meet in the parking lot. Intros and safety check
5:10 start hike
8:00 finish hike and head back home

#### Parking Pass/Entry Fee

Discover Pass

## Getting There

From Seattle, take I-90 east to exit 20 for High Point Way. At the bottom of the exit ramp, turn right at the stop sign and then immediately turn right again. You will now be traveling west, paralleling I-90 on your right. You'll likely be passing cars parked along this part of the road — it's popular here because no permit is required.
However, it's best practice to park in the lot. And the true parking area is just another half mile or so through a gate and along a paved road. Arrive in the official Department of Natural Resources parking lot where a Discover Pass is required. Water, maps, and toilets are also available here. Be aware that the gate closes to this lot at night.
