After a long dry spell I finally got back into hiking. Eric and Dusty and I went out and summitted Tiger 3. It took me a really long time to get to the top as I was (am) terribly out of shape. I could barely feel my right leg afterwards. But the view is commanding. West Tiger 3 is the next to shortest peak at 2522 feet. East Tiger Mountain is the tallest at just over 3000. I'm not sure you can climb the other peaks in the Tiger Mountain chain as many of them have been bought out by cell companies and the county. Still, I'll see. My goal this Summer is to summit the low-lying peaks in the Issaquah Alps, including Sqwak Mtn, Cougar Mtn, and maybe - by the end of the Summer - attempt Mt. Si. This is already shaping up to be an active Summer so I'm looking forward to high adventure.
