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.
well you should get to the airport 3 hours before your flight. but the check in desks have opening times for you to check in on that flight , so if you want to check in before anyone else (be the first to check in...) get there 3 hours and about 45 minutes before your flight. and wait till the check in desk opens.
