Tuesday Nights at 7 PM     

On the beach at Golden Gardens Park on Shilshole Bay in Seattle. We attempt to get a fire pit for the meeting. Look for the tiki torches! Bring a chair for the beach, a log for the fire, warm clothes, a friend and a hug. Map of meeting location. 

Thursday Nights at 7:00 PM (DST only )& Sunday Mornings at 10:00 AM (year-around)

The Tiger Mountain Tradition Lake Trailhead is on the south (right) side of the High Point Exit, Exit 20 (first exit east of Issaquah) off I-90.  Make two right turns to get onto the frontage road parallel with the Interstate.  Park before the gate to use the cable line trail or on Thursday nights, or in the upper parking lot on Sundays (see Note 2 below) to use the regular trail (recommended for first-timers). 

If you have hiking experience and feel you can get to the meeting on your own, here is a West Tiger Trails Map and the Summitpost.org detailed description of the trails. 

NOTE: Newcomers should not try to find this meeting alone.  We meet in the trees just below the summit of West Tiger 3. The hike gains 2,000 feet in a bit more than 3 miles. Bring water, warm clothes, and a flashlight. If you do not have hiking experience but would like to attend, please contact one of the meeting leaders at Tiger@osat.org for further information and help getting to the meeting. Read below for what you should bring.

What to bring on your hike to the Tiger Mt. OSAT-AA meetings

Please note that weather conditions vary on the summit of Tiger.  It is easy to get very cold after hiking up to the meeting and then sitting for one hour, even when the weather is mild.  When you have been sweating you can can get dangerously chilled even if it is warm out.

Bring a dry shirt to change into.  Bring warm layers like fleece, a down jacket, and a raincoat.  Do NOT wear cotton (for example, blue jeans). Bring gloves and a hat. Hand warmers are also good to have. Bring water, snacks, extra clothes to keep you warm and dry, and a pad to sit on. A thermos of hot tea or coffee can be nice to warm up. There is sometimes coffee or tea available to share, so bring your own cup if you'd like to share some from others.

Shoes: You can do this hike with tennis shoes if the weather isn't wet. You don’t need heavy boots but waterproof tennis shoes or light hiking boots are best.

We hope to see you on the mountain and just want to help you to get the most out of the experience by being prepared.

NOTE:  The Tiger Mountain Thursday Night Meeting only occurs during that part of the year when Washington state observes Daylight Saving Time (mid-March to early-November). The Thursday meeting is suspended during Standard Time (late-fall and winter). Please see the Calendar for the specific starting and ending dates of the Thursday night meetings.

NOTE 2:  This meeting is on Washington DNR land. Parking in the trailhead parking lot requires a Washington public lands Discover Pass.  If you do not have one, parking on the frontage road between the interchange and the gate is legal and does not require a pass.  (Thanks for supporting the Discover Pass, which no doubt in part paid for the paving of the road beyond the gate and the parking lot several years ago!)  For the Thursday meeting, please park on the frontage road, as the park gate is sometimes closed and locked at or after dusk.
