Tiger Mountain offers miles of trails, including my previous training hike at West Tiger 3. You can reach that same summit in a fraction of the miles–for a price.

Mailbox Peak
Mailbox Peak. The name alone has hikers all over Washington either shudder or cower in fear. But for MSH training, it had to be done!
Granite Mountain
In the midst of buying a house and moving, it seemed I’d never catch up to my blog! Luckily (?) a sick day has knocked me on my rear, unable to do anything but sip fluids and write.
Rogue Issaquah Brewhouse
Currently, Oregon-based Rogue Ales has one out of state location–located 20 miles east of Seattle in Issaquah, a prime location for hikers in need of an ale!
West Tiger 3
It seems like forever ago that I was conditioning for Mt. St. Helens with challenging hikes in the greater Seattle area. After Mount Townsend, the next one on my list was West Tiger 3 near Issaquah.
101 Brewery
After limping back down Mt. Townsend, I needed beer (and ice, and ibuprofen). Luckily, a few miles from the forest road was 101 Brewery in Quilcene!
Mount Townsend
Once I returned from my awesome Cali roadtrip in June, I knew I had to buckle down and hit the trails to prepare for an August summit of Mount St. Helens. Next up was one of the areas most-loved conditioning hikes–Mount Townsend.
Lost Coast Brewery
Years ago at Blues n’ Brews in Richland, I sampled a beer so wondrously like nectar–Lost Coast’s Tangerine Wheat. Now, years later, it was finally time to have one fresh from the source!
Redwood National Park: Prairie Creek
Mama Boots and I continued our road trip north from Eureka, headed to see more redwoods. It was time to see my twelfth national park!
Eel River Brewing Co
After exploring the Avenue of the Giants, a short drive from the North entrance to the road is Eel River Brewing Co in Fortuna, CA, which was the first certified organic brewery in the US.
