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.
