Tiger Mountain, WA: Part 1

Published by justin1390 at 2:12 pm under Day Hikes Edit This

For those who love a good hike that’s not going to completely wear you out, Tiger Mountain offers you a great trail to start on.  It’s called the Iverson Railroad Trail, and it’s suitable for most people of all hiking levels.  Nestled along the side of Tiger Mountain, it’s the perfect hike if you are only looking for a half day hike.

As far as difficulty is concerned, the trail has a total of about 400 feet of elevation gain with rolling hills interspersed between sections of long downhill parts.  The trail is about 4 miles long and will take you through some old growth and clearcut forest areas.  The trail is well constructed and easy to walk, made primarily of compacted dirt and some gravel.  I would definitely suggest this hike for anyone who is a beginner to advanced hiker.

Starting the hike, you’ll begin at the parking lot and take the road to the left.  At about 1/4 of a mile, you’ll come to a gate.  Continue around the gate for another 1.5 miles and the trail head will be on the right  After 4 miles, you’ll be back at the upper parking lot near the gate.  Happy trails!
