Northwest Timber Trail is one of the 3 original MTB trails on Tiger Mountain along with Preston and Iverson. NTT is the main access trail for the other lower Tiger Mountain trails, as well as the exit trail for many of the other trails. Because of proximity to the parking lot, it gets a lot of hikers and dog walkers, so be alert and friendly.

Despite a Blue rating, much of it is Green, with most of the Blue sections easily walked by newer riders. The Blue intermediate-level features include a few short techy rock sections and a short-but-steep switchbacking climb.
