Grand Canyon of Fifteenmile Creek — Thursday, Nov. 11, 2021

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain

I don't remember any area in my walk from the forest entrance to the internal trailhead to the falls that resembles the photo at the top of this article. What did I miss? Link to my path on gaiagps below...

Parked in the cul de sac 200m ish downhill from TH. The one place around here free of towing signs... and then a crappy little stroll up the shoulderless, blind corner road to the *extremely forbidden* parking zone and into the forest.

I was hoping for more lingering mushrooms like I got on Sunday at Middle Fork, but between the dominant deciduous trees (and their fallen leaves) and the severe english ivy infestation I didn't see very much on the ground compared to Middle Fork. The little falls is nice and you get a pretty good look at it for not very much effort.

After walking through the clearcut there's an obvious old parking and horse mount area at the actual trailhead... would be cool if this side of tiger mountain were accessible by any means other than the grace of homeowners on the pedestrian-hostile street.

A nice quick little stroll overall, but this is probably not its best moment with the leaves covering up mycology and geology that might otherwise be highlights. On to other trails with more evergreens.
