Tradition Lake Loop — Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain
Enter if you dare!

WATCH OUT - Find a bathroom before you get to the trailhead or plan to have handy the necessary items to find an appropriate place to relieve yourself on the trail (pack in/pack out your TP).  We found the pit toilets in terrible shape.  Grafitti, messy, stinky, and in desperate need of maintenance.  This is a busy trailhead, with a lot of toilet demands.  For a paid lot, I would expect much better options for toilets at the trailhead.  See photo.

As for the hike - the forest understory is beautiful, everything is showing the growth of summer greenery. The streams were either dry or just a trickle.  Trails are in great condition.  With one exception to watch out for.  On the Talus Rocks trail, between the Talus Rock outcrop and the Tiger 3 trail, there is a bridge with missing boards that needs repair.  See photo.  

Bridge needs repair.
