First hike, 2018

Looking down the trail on Tiger 3 early in the hike; shot with my LG G6.

This was my first real hike of 2018. I've been lounging around, settling in after trips to Vancouver and New Orleans. I did a hike in Vancouver, but I think I lost the photos. If I find them,  that will be my first other real hike.

Today I partitioned my hike to allow me to compare distances with Map My Hike software to what the trail says.  Here are the details:

0.67 mile 95 feet elevation gain to 500-foot sign, shown as 627 feet with Map My Hike.
1.60 mile 1110 ft elevation gain:  634 to 1822 feet
0.53 mile         From 1813 feet, descending to 1.1 mile marker
1.12 mile         From 1364 feet, descending toward trailhead
0.67 mile         From trailhead to car, not counting distance from trailhead to 500-foot elevation sign.

Elevations leading on flat land to trailhead varies from 615 to 627 feet: It's about 115-127 feet off.

One of the segments -- from 1.1 mile market to trailhead was off by only 1.7%

Total hiking distance shown here: Hike was about 4.5 miles.

Heart rate got to 140 bpm; day was cool; not a lot of sweat.

Forgot my parking pass, so I had to park just outside the park.
