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.
How Early Do I Actually Need to Arrive at the Airport? With all the suggested preparation times involved with flying these days, it can be difficult to get the straight story on when you need to show up for your flight. The only thing worse than missing your plane after getting a cheap flight is sitting at the gate longer than necessary.
