A friend gave me a waypoint for an area where one could potentially find leaf fossils just above the waterfalls. I found the dig area but never found any fossils. I guess I'll need some guidance next time. 

For some unclear reason there's no parking at the trailhead. I suspect The neighbors made a fuss and DNR caved. You can however park about a quarter mile down the road on a cul-de-sac and then walk up the road. 

There's also a place just above the waterfalls where you can scramble down to the creek bed and enjoy some of the stone carved by water power.

There is no parking available, despite what the trail description says. There are clear and numerous "no parking" signs at a road that appears to be the trailhead. At the nearby fire station there are signs saying "no parking." We gave up. I'm contacting DNR and will leave another trip report if I get more information. 

Got to this trail via Rd 1500 and the West Side Rd. There are a couple of huge cottonwood trees that fell across the trail that will force a reroute around the root balls. There are other trees on the trail that can be cleared with a chainsaw. Lots of other debris that I tried to clean up or use my trail saw to clear a path. We made it all the way to the falls. Neither of the new bridges were touched.

This is a hidden hike on the backside of Tiger Mountain. Not many people venture out here, which is a shame because the scenery is incredible. That being said, the trail is in good shape except for one washed out bridge. Total stats were 3.2 miles, 320 feet elevation gain.

To solve the issue of parking (it is a tow away zone in front of the access road gate), we parked along 258th Ave SE. From here, it is a short walk along Tiger Mountain Rd to get to the access road. After walking a few hundred feet, we turned left onto West Side Road, where we walked an additional quarter mile to get to the old trailhead (before the road was gated and closed to private vehicles many years ago). There is a bike rack here, since bikes are allowed on the road but not the trail. The trail itself is actually an old railroad grade.

Immediately, the trail passes by an old foundation before crossing a bridge over a tributary. At the bridge crossing, an unofficial connector trail leads east towards the Hobart-Middle Tiger RR Grade (is this the 'boot trail' referred to in the WTA hike description?). Shortly after, the trail enters a small meadow. There is an interpretive sign here explaining the history of the area. If you follow one of the boot paths to the west here, you will find the old washery foundation nestled among the trees.

After a bit more hiking, you will reach the site of the washed out bridge. Lucky for us, some other hikers had put multiple logs across the creek, making the crossing relatively easy. The trail swings around the ridge, and Fifteenmile Creek becomes both visible and audible. Soon, a junction is reached. Left leads to a great view of the raging creek and waterfall. Right leads to an old (gated) mine shaft. A faint trail continues beyond the mine shaft, which we followed for a short ways, but it becomes severely overgrown.

Overall, this was a great hidden hike. We didn't see anyone else the entire time. Right now is a great time to go as the creek is raging.

Great day at Tiger Mountain. Beautiful scenery, very calm.

About halfway through the trail, there is a washed out bridge and significant erosion. However, there is a makeshift path to continue onward if you choose.

Note: There is no road parking or really any at all.
