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.
Re: How many hrs. before flight should I arrive at Airport. Jul 15, 2012, 9:21 AM. Security to the US takes longer than to other countries so you'll need to be there 2 hours before the flight. If you are traveling business or first and can go through priority lanes, then you could cut it down to 90 minutes.
