So, a while back I remember reading something about an ascending trail that splits off NWT. I've been searching and I haven't been able to find that thread or article or whatever. Did I hallucinate this? Is it real and if so what's the status?

Thanks aaron. Working on hill climbing is my main reason for going out there, so that's perfect.

Hit me up with a PM if you want me to show you the route sometime!
The Nudist climb is a good option except for all of the "No Trespassing" signs. Whenever I go that way I worry about getting yelled at by naked people. The simpler, low stress option is to take Tiger Mtn Rd. Near the top of the road climb is a gated gravel road that's hard to miss (where the paragliders access PooPoo). Just stay right at the first intersection and you'll be on the West Side Rd that takes you to Iverson or all the way to the Tiger parking areas.
Master Link is awesome!

Where/when is the nudist climb?! Is it pet-friendly?
Just got back from riding the new climbing trail at Tiger... Overall pretty sweet. Such a good change of scenery (and pace) compared to the fire road. I ride Tiger quite a bit (3x this week) so thats veryyyy nice. Awesome job to the builders! Took about the same time top to bottom, but was just cruising and checking out the views. Look forward to more time going that route. Still have to check out the drop in link to OTG from Predator.

But then you don't get to see naked people...

You take 127th off Issaquah-Hobart. It is a paved road and there is a little trail entrance on the right, just before the entrance to the camp. That eventually splits off and turns into a service road. Not sure if that is "pet friendly" or not.

Maybe next year's winter stoke should be here? Bring some area heaters and everyone get naked! On second thought, ...

I rode the "nudist route" today as Aaron describes, then continued to Master Link and the summit. Really nice work on ML...I'm a beginner XC and had no trouble keeping the feet on the pedals. Preston RR was a little humbling though...all the rocks and roots made for an uncomfortable ride on my rigid. Drop the seat more? Go faster? Find a different trail?

Mike, you're missing some more squiggly lines on that map. I hope at least you have the tracks for them when they become available.

"Drop In" would be easy to miss if your riding OTG. It is an uphill climb from OTG to Predator, but a very cool option. Start at the summit and use ETS and the start of OTG as a warm up before riding Predator.
I think the climbing trail is a great addition and will be VERY welcome on a hot summer day! I love all the cool rocks along the climb and the bridge is amazing.

Or to avoid the timber company road work and log trucks hauling a few million board feet of timber Monday-Friday down the main road during the first part of summer.
