Great trail for folks' wanting to get in shape for summer climbing! It's a short, but intense 1.5 miles UP. Recommend taking West Tiger #3 down. 3mi — 2h 00m

Morning training is better in groups- with themes :)!

Lots of ferns adorn the trail under the tall tree canopy. You'll be nearly 100% in the shade.

West Tiger #3 - a wide cruiser trail through tall trees with luscious ferns.

Looking up the trail. You go up and up!

The trail does have a few flatter sections where you can recover!

While the trail is marked as 'not well maintained' some sections do have stairs.

Anticlimactic on a cloudy day, but you still get the satisfaction of a sign at the top.

Typical section of the trail. Loose dirt, roots, and rocks.

West Tiger #3 offers connections to the Cable Line Trail at multiple spots through short connector trails

Entrance to the Cable Line Trail is just off the service drive off I-90, Exit 20. Parking is on both sides of the street.
