Runner Notes

This trail is commonly used by mountain bikers, so be prepared to share the trail.

Description

This trail is part of the Tiger Mountain Trail network, which has been around for a couple of decades.

It's a mellow trail that is relatively smooth. It provides some very pretty views and a large number of bridge crossings. The trail is commonly used in both directions by bikers and runners. Watch out for and be respectful of other trail users!
