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)

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.

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.

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.
