West Tiger 3 again

A slightly drizzly day on the Tiger 3 Trail

Today I hiked to the 2.2 mile point on the trail. I didn't push my luck because I hadn't prepared for the light rain and I didn't want to be wet and cold. By the time I had returned to the trailhead the sun was peeking out and the drizzle was over. I had to rest several times during the hike. A gentleman I met on the trail told me the 2.2 mile point was actually 1,926 feet above sea level, based on prior reports from his $600 altimeter watch.
