Mission: Washington Trails Association (WTA) mobilizes hikers and everyone who loves the outdoors to explore, steward and champion public lands across Washington. We envision a future where there are trails for everyone, forever.

Washington Trails Association (WTA) is the nation's largest state?based hiking and trail maintenance organization. Powered by hikers for more than 50 years, WTA works to ensure Washington's trails stand the test of time, connecting people to the outdoors-from everyday adventures to backcountry explorations. We engage our community of 26,000 members, 5,000 volunteers and 300,000 online users as public lands advocates, as trail stewards and as on the ground experts sharing knowledge with fellow hikers.

Washington Trails Association is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1980, and donations are tax-deductible.
