Daniel Coulter Access Report: “The area around Tiger Peak is riddled with private property, primarily for mining, and most roads are gated. Google Maps will attempt to take you along these gated roads so do not use it. Thankfully we were able to find a completely public route to the “trailhead” and I attached a GPS track of the drive in from pavement at Dobson Pass. The route is along generally good dirt roads but a few sections do require high clearance. We parked at a hairpin turn on the ridge, where there was room for about three vehicles.”

North Ridge, Class 2

Hike from the parking spot to the summit. The east side of the ridge has been clear-cut. The route will cross through forested terrain in places. The summit area is clear of trees.

‘Daniel Coulter: “From where we parked, a use trail heads southwest along the ridge. We followed it until it disappeared, at which point we just kept along the ridge. We found a few other stretches of use/game trails, but much of the hike was in fairly open forest (very light bushwhacking at times). The hiking route is included in the GPS track. At the summit we found a benchmark and some old metal junk. There was no register so we left one near the benchmark.”
