Hiking up to Poo Poo Point, Tiger Mountain, WA

Rob and I are headed out to the Buckhorn Wilderness area of the Olympic Mountains Aug 21st to spread Janni's ashes and do an overnight camping trip.  So, in an effort to get in better shape, we're doing several hikes to prep.  Two weekends ago we went up 1200 feet to the top of Poo Poo Point, out near Issaquah.  Ugh, it was all uphill the whole time. I had to stop a few times to rest.  But the view is so worth it - on a very clear day you can even see some of the buildings in downtown Seattle to the west.
This is where the local paragilding club takes off.  It was pretty busy and crowded at the top, and then we were able to see them sail down to the bottom.  Pretty cool!!!
