Tiger Mountain Trail, Hobart - Middle Tiger Railroad Trail — Monday, May. 15, 2023

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain

* Middle Tiger Logging Map

This is my best attempt at creating an overlay of where the upcoming logging will occur on Middle Tiger Mountain for those having difficulty orienting the sign on the trail to the larger map. 

I had a difficult time orienting the planned logging to the larger map for myself so I thought I would share after I figured it out.  I hope the images help you plan to see this area before the trees are removed or to avoid the area until the trail is rerouted. 

I am not connected with any of the organizations involved.  These maps are my best estimation with imperfect knowledge and simple cut and paste. If you know where to find a better map, please link it in the comments.

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Do you know when this is happening and when we should expect closures?

I added a photo of the sign with a date range from Feb of this year through fall of 2024. The sign notes trail restoration after the "completion of timber sale", leading me to believe "sale" is a euphemism for harvest, so I guess they will have to start with enough time to have every tree the company wants to take removed by winter of 2024. Slash and debris piles and stumps will be around and visible for a lifetime though, so there is plenty of time on that.
