Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain

A morning well spent with David Kappler of the Issaquah Alps Trails Club learning about the trees, plants, geology and history of the area around Tradition Lake on the North side of Tiger Mountain. An extremely informative 6 mile hike covering native and non-native plants and trees as well some perspective on historical logging, railroading, and mining on and around Tiger Mountain. Trails are all in very good condition and less than 1,000 feet of gain for this loop hike makes it family friendly. We saw hikers, runners, families and friendly dogs out enjoying the nice weather, but still not too crowded. This hike is part of a series of hikes sponsored by IATC, more info can be found on their website.
