At just over 2,500 feet, it's the highest point on the TMT. In spring, look for red currant blooming here. From Tom's Crossing, the West Tiger #2 Trail heads steeply uphill providing another way to reach that summit. Continue down the TMT on many switchbacks and, in about 0.3 mile, note the junction with the K3 Trail.
I rarely show up more than 1.5 ahead of time. Another idea: technically, the ticket counters usually open 24 hrs before your flight, and sometimes this is the only way to easily get special seats like exit rows.
First-time flyers should arrive 1 hour before the time you booked to fly. That gives you the time to check in, complete your waiver if you didnât do it online, attend the training session and change into your flight gear. Return flyers should arrive about 1/2 hour before your scheduled flight time.
