Tiger Mountain Trail, Poo Poo Point & Poo Poo Point - Chirico Trail — Friday, Apr. 16, 2010

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain

No rain predicted so we headed out. Got almost the last parking spot at 9:45. Hiked the Chirico Trail to Poo Poo Pt. Greeted by a large group of VERY LOUD 20 Somethings. Trail was in excellent condition with almost no mud and shows lots of extensive upgrading. Thank you, trail volunteers. Continued on the Poo Poo Pt Trail to One View Trail and then east on the TMT to Paw Print Rest Stop, meeting only one other hiker and a couple who had been doing trail maintenance Ate lunch in the sun. The toliet here needs TP and a good cleaning. Stopped going and coming at Poo Poo Pt. to watch dozens of gliders enjoying the good wind and weather. All trails were in excellent condition with minimal mud. We saw no snow, although a hiker reported to us finding snow patches on the top of Tiger 1. Stats for this excellent hike are 10 miles and 3,180' gross elev. If more ambitious than we were this day, various loops could be made on the return, including over Tiger 1.
