tiger mountain is off route 18, north of federal way in washington. so it's probably a good 4 hours from where you are. i wouldn't drive all the way up for it , although it is the after-work destination of choice for seattle area mtbersOriginally posted by shocktower
Are you saying Like Tigard ,I`am a ne wguy in Da` PNW so`s I`am confuzed
Take I-90 east to exit 25. Go right on to hwy 18. Follow for a few miles until you see the Tiger Mnt. trail head sign. It'll be on your right at the top of the hill. Parking lot is right there. I'd recommend meeting with some other monkeys or follow someone up the climb and on the singletrack. If you go up to the upper parking lot there is a map. Basically, the typical loop is climb the fireroad up to Preston, Preston pops out on the fire road, coming out of Preston go left down the fire road, this will turn into a slight climb which will come to a clearing with an intersection of fire roads, you'll see signs for the Northwest trail and that's the one you want, it slightly veers to the right off the main fire road (you'll see it), this trail will take you back to the original fire road and back down to the parking lot.Originally posted by shocktower

Wow...is it really that far of a loop? I've been there many times, but I didn't think it was that nutty...of course, on my SS I only pedal up about 65% of the fireroad...though getting stronger each timeOriginally posted by Zoso
Its a pretty hard climb. Its about 4 miles that starts pretty steep. Its tough because you go anaerobic and have to recover while still climbing. I usually stop once about half way up. The total length is somewhere around 16 miles.
I'll be there tomorrow at around 5pm. Blue Volvo and a blue K2 trail bike. Maybe I'll see you there.

Sooooo 5 at El Montana de Tigre..........
Yeah, she's okay, she's just a little high maintenance these days . A year ago she was diagnosed with cat asthma (when the vet first told me that I think I looked at her like she had two horns and a tail...). Anyways, she's had it most of her life (explains the snoring), but as she got older it got a lot worse. She had to go to the vets on Tuesday for a shot, and that through her system all screwbally and she had a pretty good sized attack and the vet insisted on seeing her again if she was still wheezing24 hours later. Well.... So she got packed off into the car again and given a pretty big dose of sedative. She's still sleeping but at least she's calm. Sorry bout yesterday though, definitely next week (no scheduled vet appts!)Originally posted by Snacks

I have never been to Tiger Mt., what is the riding like?
Everything is cross country free-ride is just shortened extreme cross country......Originally posted by Ice Bullit
So would it be more of a cross country venture? If I want to go fast would I have to worry about hitting hikers? Would a 35lb freeride bike be able to ride it? Sorry about the questions, just want to get a feel for what its like before gas it over there...
-Thanks
no problemo, have a blast.Originally posted by Ice Bullit
sounds like fun to me. Thanks agian for the info.
