W. Tiger #2 and #3 1/29/2019

West Tiger #2 from West Tiger #3

We did a loop today (sort of): up the Nook Trail to the Section Line to the summit of West Tiger #3 (the western-most of Tiger Mountain’s six distinct peaks) then looped around the east end of Tiger #2 to that summit and then back to #3, then down the way we came up.

It was me, Ken, Greg, David and Mike today, although, because I am slower than them I started about 20 minutes ahead of them. Turns out we both made it to #3’s summit in about 90 minutes.

As always, I love love love being in the forest:

The Forest

The spot above is just below the junction between the Cable Line Trail and the Section Line Trail, about fifty yards from the Tiger #3 summit. The sign on the left says ‘Unmaintained Trail’.

We did about 5.2 miles, here is a shot of the track:

A fun hike and a great workout, since the Section Line trail is way steep.
