DESCRIPTION FROM:

60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Seattle - Including Bellevue, Everett, and Tacoma

by Andrew Weber and Bryce Stevens (Menasha Ridge Press)

Although Number Three is the lowest of West Tiger Mountain’s triple summits, the view from the top is as good as from any of them. This fun loop takes a direct line to the popular peak, then descends a secluded route through the mountain’s lush forests to explore some interesting natural features at Talus Rocks and Tradition Lake.

Forest here is nice. View at top is nice too, but not spectacular. Trail has some loose rock and is steep at the very end (last .5 miles). The description is correct in that there was a lot of traffic on this trail.

Strenuous hike for a beginner, which I am. The view at the top IMHO was not spectacular due to the fact that it was partially blocked by either the side of the mountain or trees.
