5/13/15 - North Tiger Mountain - Tradition Lake Hike

Today is my birthday, so I skipped school and went hiking with my kids. We went to the Issaquah Alps and hiked around the north side of Tiger Mountain near Tradition Lake. It was overcast and cool, but it did not rain. This was a great hike for the kids, they were able to walk the entire way without any major elevation gains or other obstacles on the trail. We same numerous slugs, the woods were filled with songbirds, and we even watched some loud geese fly in and land on the lake. I highly recommend this hike for children. We hiked 3 separate trails here: Around the Lake Trail, Wetlands Trail, and Bus Trail.

At the Trail-head. This is a "Discovery Pass Required" parking area.

Here we go!

Very kid friendly trails.
