Winter Hike to Poo Poo Point on Tiger Mtn via the Chirico Trail



We hiked up to Poo Poo Point on Tiger Mountain via the Chirico Trail today in Issaquah. This is a good winter conditioning hike. The hike is 3.8 miles round trip with 1760 ft of elevation gain. A popular spot for paragliders. Most of the hike is up a hillside in the woods.




 At 1.6 miles, arrive at the South View Launch site with a great view of Mt Rainier to the south.








About another 180 ft up and 1/4 mile along the trail, reach the North View Launch Site with a great view over looking Sauk & Cougar Mts. Seattle and Issaquah are below the clouds. In the far distance are the Olympic Mts.

to the north we could see Mt Baker, here's a zoom photo:
This trail is very popular and crowded. But the views are worth it.
