Hobart - Middle Tiger Railroad Trail — Saturday, Jul. 30, 2022

One thing the description omits: if you’re not familiar with Tiger Mountain, it’s a big mountain biking area. We met at least a dozen bikers on the initial Iverson trail section. While most were courteous, if you’re ascending an area with switchbacks, and they’re coming down at a good clip, there’s not a lot of time to recognize each other and get off to the side. In theory, bikes yield to hikers: in practice, we yielded to them. Once past the Iverson section, we only saw one other biker, and no hikers whatsoever. 
Perhaps not a great choice for one of the hottest days of the year, but a majority of the trail was shaded by forest. The section from the road to 15 Mile Creek and especially up to the TMT was a bit overgrown but still easily passable. A lot of mosquitoes, some deer flies, and an abundance of small white butterflies.
