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.
A few things to remember: 1  You must check in for international flights at least 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time. 2  You must be at the gate at least 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time. 3  You must check in for international flights online or at the check-in counters at the airport.*.
