West Tiger 1

There are many different ways to craft a hike that will take you to West Tiger 1, the second-highest summit on Tiger Mountain. 

A couple of ways there include a path via Dwight's Way, or another via Fred's Corner (if you're looking for something just a tiny bit shorter). You can also hike the Preston Trail and connect to a WTA-built half-mile trail to the summit.

In 2023, WTA crews rebuilt the last half mile of trail from the Preston Trail to the summit of Tiger 1 after a timber sale took out the original trail that traversed the summits of Tiger Mountain. Hikers can continue past the summit of Tiger 1 and continue on the new trail to West Tiger 2 and 3. This section of trail was built by Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) crews and the Department of Natural Resources. The inclusion of the new trail allows for the popular route from High Point Trailhead utilizing the West Tiger 3 trail. This provides the additional sights of West Tiger 3 Summit with optional West Tiger 2 Summit. Elevation gains and route mileage will consider this approach.
