Hike 10: West Tiger 2 (and 3)

We missed two weeks of hiking due to our trip back to the Midwest, but now we're back at it. Yesterday, we tried Tiger Mountain again. We've been up Tiger twice (2 and 3) and both times that we reached the summits, we couldn't see anything because it was too foggy. The third time's a charm, because yesterday we had great views of the valley. We were the only two people at the Tiger 2 summit, which is the less popular summit. It is only about .5 miles from Tiger 3, but a little bit harder to get to. There were lots of paragliders flying off of Poo Poo Point, which was pretty cool to watch while we had lunch. Also, Saturday was the first time using our trekking poles. We were able to maneuver much quicker because we could lean on the poles when the trail got narrow. And when going down the trail, we could place more pressure on the poles...and less on our knees.

Resting for lunch.

You can't see the paragliders in the distance, but they're there.
