Lots of DANGER involved. Lessons learned when you ignore the warnings.

Yes, the trail IS called Chirico and yes there IS a Poo Top trail.
Yes, this IS actually called Chirico trail. 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 Chirico trail

In general the summits are NOT the highlights of this loop.

Wildlife is so thick on this hike that you have to beat it off with a stick.

Poo poo point actually has nicer views than most of the summits. Note I did not even include my photo from Summit 3.(evidence of peak bagging available on request)
Me, morning, PooPoo Point.

The crowds disappear quickly if you get off The Main Trail that everyone takes. Funny how many people can't conceive that you might be hiking BEYOND Poo Poo point when you are going up Chirico trail.
a sense of mystery 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 What to do with that REALLY blurry photo. 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 TMT 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 West Creek...and yes there was a sign.
3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 Spooky 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11
And its always a treat when your timing hits a major launch window from Poo Poo point, AND you get to see a landing when you get back to the car.
Showing off some color. 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 launching into the abyss 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 Flying 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 paraglider launch, poo poo point 3 Tiger Mtn Summits, From chirico, through Poo top, 01/22/11 Paraglider landing at Chirico
And every once in a long LONG time, the lighting and angle and timing all fall together and you remember why you lug your camera along on ALL hikes.

Quite a surprising vareity of sights for Tiger - greenery, paragliding, and great sunbeams.
