Trail 4000 Road (West Side Road)
Honestly, if tired I prefer this road over Iverson as an alternate route back to the lot.

1st time at Tiger yesterday and I found this to be perfect for my skill level. I have never hit any tech nearly this gnarly, I'm surprised to see people complaining about flat turns. Watch some youtube and work on your flat cornering skills my fellow shredders. This is up there with being my favorite tech trail behind The Legend. I honestly thought this is a solid blue coming from someone who hasn't hit nearly any tech trails (flows really well too). Definitely a must ride for confident 1st timers at Tiger!

The root ball from the description seems like it is supposed to have a landing (looking at older pics,) but now that's eroded away.

This trail has some technical climbing spots on the way back to parking lot. I had to walk over those gnarly roots but got me to slow down a bit & enjoy the forest. Trail is actually very beautiful. Last bit of downhill is pretty fun

Quite the slog up but makes you feel like you earn your descent down. The forest is beautiful and there is waterfall and other water features like the rest of the park. Very beautiful trail!

This trail was pretty muddy today. I’m mostly a progressing beginner so I stick to blue runs and found the technical features on this run a bit beyond my ability. I definitely had to walk on the super steep sharp corners and some rocky spots but there was definitely plenty of trail in between for me to have lots of fun. I’ll come back again for some more when it dries out

Super fun. I’m bit of a beginner and found this run to be quite exciting. There are a couple minor technical features that kept things interesting for me, probably more advanced riders would find them boring but it is a flow trail & you can go really fast if you wanted. This trail is very well maintained and the dirt is perfect. Oh & the view up top is outstanding

Fun cross country trail and I don’t really like cross country. Good test of your technical climbing ability. Being able to ride this all the way through, without getting off your bike at all, takes a considerable amount of skill

This cross over from side hustle is a perfectly fine way to get back to the lot. Not sure I’d ever ride it just to ride it.

A couple of spots with some slippery roots. The one diamond option is just steep’ish and muddy. Nothing to worry about for most blue riders.

The trail started off narrow with just enough rocks/roots to make it feel a bit spicy as a new rider. Otherwise it was super fun, especially as the views started to open up!

Awkward flat turns a no rhythm at all for the first half. Gets more fun further on. Fully disagree with chunky-tech-doctor about being a top blue. And on that note, please put a little more effort into sentence formation and punctuation if you are going to make a point of reviewing a lot of trails in the area. It’s hard to take you seriously.

Well crafted climbing trail! Gets you off the road and into the forest and shade. It’s beautiful in there, and the trail rides well- engaging enough to make the climbing a part of your ride rather than just a waiting period

Thought I would like it a lot more than the fire road but now I'm not so sure. It's a toss up between the two for me. The fire road may be the faster way up.

This trail is quite technical as a intermediate trail. It as many rocks. You can do if you go slowly. If you are comfortable with this trail, you are ready to challenge black diamonds as well

I thought this was going to be an easy trail after Off The Grid. It was not so. Still has lots of obstacles, roots, rocks, tight switchbacks. Really fun overall, but just a bit harder than I was expecting for a blue.

Ride up the end of the "Northwest Timber Trail" where it ends at the road for roughly 5 minutes, hang a left at the fork (there is a sign), Master Link starts there. If you go right at this point, you will not be riding a climbing trail.

This is the old route up to the summit, sometimes used by logging trucks and trail crews for access, take the "Master Link" climbing trail up instead.

Trail NorthWest Timber
A pleasant XC ride that is a main link to the rest of the East Tiger trail system. If doing a shorter loop, then NTT will be your entrance and your exit. If doing a longer day by riding up the fire road to the East Summit, then NTT is your exit trail back to the parking lot.

Overall, NTT is rated Green, but it still has a few sections that will challenge novice riders. I've yet to see anyone successfully ride the big root ball in the uphill (East) direction. And same root ball in the downhill (West) direction back to parking lot is definitely a Blue trail feature. Roll it or drop it, and don't look down to your left! Also, the rock garden near the West end of the trail is more challenging riding uphill (heading West).

I haven't seen anyone clear that root ball on the trail. If anyone has a video of them doing it I'd love to see. IMO it is a expert feature, definitely not blue.

Overall experience, didn't like NW Timber very much. Almost no descent/downhill sections. A lot of climbing, including very steep sections that pop of nowhere (eg. right after a rocky/rooty patch).
