Tiger is an extinct town in Summit County, in the U.S. state of Colorado.
A post office called Tiger was established in 1919, and remained in operation until 1940.[3] The community took its name from the Royal Tiger Mines Company.[4] The town site was destroyed before 1995 by the Forest Service in order to be used as a snowmobile track.[5]
