Description:
Begin hiking from the Tradition Plateau trailhead and walk the Bus Trail -- actually a road, and yes, there really is an abandoned vintage Greyhound bus near the trail.
Go about a quarter-mile to a Y. Turn left and climb through mixed forest, avoiding spurs on the left and right. Just after crossing a creek, look for a switchback to the left, which recrosses the creek,
At about 1-1/2 miles the logging road ends and becomes a true trail, climbing a half-mile to West Tiger Railroad Grade at 1,900 feet.
Cross the railroad grade and continue climbing through forest and shrubs to the mostly bald summit at 2,522 feet, with views of the Snoqualmie Valley, the Cascades and Puget Sound.
Directions:
Drive east on I-90 and look for Exit 20 beyond Issaquah. From the exit turn right on the frontage road and drive a short distance to the gate turnaround. Walk 6/10 of a mile past the gate to the Tradition Plateau trailhead (elevation 500 feet), which offers restrooms, a shelter and picnic tables.
