Cherico Trail Hike (wilderness hike)

Details

3.8 miles roundtrip
1,760 elevation gain

Easy to Medium Hike (also considering paragliding, let me know if you want to do that also...BONUS: you won't have to hike back down....)

PARKING IS INSANE, SO IF YOU WANT TO GO, CONSIDER CARPOOLING. I CAN TAKE THREE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE.

Poo Poo Point is a small knoll on a shoulder of West Tiger Mountain. The folksy name is a reference to the steam whistle sounds heard throughout the Tigers in the early days of logging. More recently, around the 1970s, the area around Poo Poo Point was logged by its then owners, Weyerhaeuser Corporation. The result is a large clear area used now as a launching pad by paragliders who generally backpack their lightweight gear up the Chirico Trail, or sometimes arrive by minibus.
