A Discover Pass is needed to park in the upper lot.

This is the standard Tiger lap from the top. From either parking lot, take the Master Link and Quick Link trails and then the Crossover and ETS roads to the East Summit. Enjoy the views. Then descend the East Tiger Summit trail, going Right at the next trail junction (continuing past the road crossing) onto the Off The Grid trail. Exiting OTG, continue onto Fully Rigid, then go Right at the junction to continue across the bridge onto Joy RIde trail. Exiting JR, go Right to take NorthWest Timber trail back to the parking lot.

Worthwhile option (not included in this routing): When returning West on NorthWest Timber trail, take a Left on the new Easy, Tiger trail, then a Right onto the new The Legend trail. Enjoy this great, short descent. Exiting TL, go Left up the East Maintenance Road and then either ride the Easy, Tiger trail all the way back up to NorthWest Timber, going Left on NWT, or follow the road all the way back up to the end of NWT and riding back to the parking lot. This option adds 700 feet more of vert and 2.5 miles to the route (going back up Easy, Tiger).
