today's hiking at Tiger Mt.

Started from Issaquah High School. The High School Trail head is at a small parting lot about 100 meters east of the Issaquah High School (400 feet elevation).

On the way back I found that there is small gate at the back of the Issaquah High School soccer stadium that also leads to High School Trail.

After 1 mile on high school trail, near the power line. there is a junction to get on Section Line Trail.

It's a very steep trail, goes all the way to West Tiger 3 Summit.
About Half way on this trail, there is junction with West Tiger Mt. railroad grade Trail. I think you can turn left there to go to West Tiger 3 Trail. Since I was trying to make my best time to the summit, I continued on the "unmaintained trail".

Took me about 40 min to reach the summit (2522 feet elevation).

From there, I took West Tiger 3 Trail down, turned right at the first major junction (I was trying to get back to Section Line Trail, but ended up on Bus Trail)

From Bus Trail, I took a detour on Traditional Lake Trail, and get back to Bus Trail.

When Bus Trail meets Powerline, I turned right which leads me back to the junction between Section Line Trail and High school Trail.

During the trip, it was mostly cloudy; there were some shower, some snow (with pretty large ice pieces), with occasional sun breaks.
