this past weekend my hiking group, black people hike (bph) hit the tiger mountain west trail for what we thought would be a 5 mile hike round trip. turns out the high point trail (which doesn’t go all the way to the top) is 5 miles. the west trail is actually 4.4 miles one way. so, yeah. it was a long hike. but the day was beautiful, and the company was amazing, and we had a great time. i wanted to do a top 5 for this hike and share a few pix from my perfect day climbing tiger mountain.
