January Winter Conditioning Runs: 5-7 miles - West Tiger Mountain No. 3 Cable Line

Meet at 4:45 pm at the Cable Line trailhead sign. Note that the parking area is on the side of the road *before* the gate that leads to the High Point parking lot. No parking passes required. There are no bathrooms at the trailhead - the nearest outhouse is near the High Point parking lot.

Directions: From I-90, a few miles east of Issaquah, take Exit 20 for High Point and turn south on 270th Ave SE. Just a few yards south of I-90, turn right onto SE 79th St and continue on west. The trail head is in ~0.3 miles, *before* the gate to the parking lot.

Cable Line is one of the best conditioners! We will be covering ~5.9 miles and 2,531 feet of elevation gain. Since the trail up can be steep, we will hike uphill at a moderate pace. Once at the summit, we will pause for a brief snack and hydration break, change shirts if you so desire (can get cold quick), and then hike/jog over to Tiger #2. We can then run down West Tiger #2 Trail, West Tiger RR Grade, and then West Tiger #3 - which is a fantastic trail to go down. Please bring a headlamp, since we will be starting in the dark!
