WTA is offering a free Hike Organizing 101 workshop for community organization leaders that are interested in taking youth hiking!
Join other youth group leaders to learn more about WTA's Steps into Wilderness program and have an engaging afternoon of fun, interactive activities and useful information. You'll leave the workshop with new resources about group and risk management, trip logistics, and tips for making outdoor adventures fun.
Olympic Peninsula near Lake Cushman. This trail was hammered by fall storms, with over 120 trees across the trail at one point. The Forest Service has mostly cleared the trail of the trees, and now WTA volunteers are needed to address some maintenance needs, including tread repair, drainage work, and some brushing further up the trail.
Join our "Thursday Crew" volunteers to help finish construction on a new multi-use trail. Last year WTA Volunteers completed "phase 1" of the Hardy Ridge Project, officially opening the trail to hikers. We're refining the trail by removing stumps, adding rock walls and bringing the tread up to code.
Northwest WA near Bellingham. WTA will spend a couple of weekends this winter improving several trails within Larrabee State Park. The work will focus on general maintenance including improving drainage in places where the tread is muddy, as well as possible trail realignment.
Olympic Peninsula. This a short and steep trail that leads to some amazing vistas of the Olympics and the Cascades. We'll work on maintenance heading up the trail - focusing on improving the tread.
Issaquah Alps. The most popular destination within the Issaquah Alps, WTA has been asked to construct a connector trail that will lead from the Tradition Plateau parking lot to the Cable Line Trail. The length of the trail is approximately 0.5 miles, and this will be a fun new trail construction project to be a part of.
Olympic Peninsula. The Lower Big Quilcene trail is one of the most popular routes leading into the interior of the Olympic Mountains. It is the beginning of a trail system that can take you all the way to the coast. It is a heavily used trail and in need of maintenance, as hikers, mountain bikers, and horseman will be heading up this valley soon.
