It has been such a nice weekend.  The first in some time that we went for a hike up Tiger Mountain.  We took the Poo Poo Point trail (yes that is the name).  This is the clearing on the mountain that paragliders use to launch themselves into the air.  The elevation at the start of the trail is 160 ft and we reached the point which is at 1850 ft. 

Be sure to look at the map at the bottom of the page.  You can see where this location is as well as how far Mt. Rainer is.  I used an advanced tool and saw that the distance from where we were to the center of Mt. Rainer was 44.6 miles.
