About the Ride/ Grunt Rating:

Tiger Mountain trails are beautiful and worth the effort! The ride starts out on Master Link trail which connects to Inside Passage then to Joy Ride and then NW Timber to the cars.  Master Link is uphill twisty single track that requires fitness to climb.  Inside Passage is mostly downhill with some large roots to navigate over. Joy Ride is somewhat technical single track with rocks and large tree roots to navigate over so keep moving and don’t break as much on this trail.  NW Timber is nice up and down but does suck the rest of the energy that you have left so bring snacks!

Directions:

Meet by the bathrooms/upper parking lot located at Tiger Summit Trailhead (east Tiger Mountain State Forest). This trailhead is off of HWY 18 in Issaquah WA: Google Maps

Discover Pass required.
