Take Action
Join us in building trails for everyone, forever.
Washington Trails Association has a long history of bringing hikers together to protect the places we love. WTA weighs in on issues and policy that impact hikers — from trail funding to wilderness protection to trail system planning. We advocate for hikers and trails at every level — in Washington, D.C., in halls of the state Capitol in Olympia and in your hometown.
We believe that getting outdoors can inspire hikers to advocate for Washington’s treasured public lands for years to come.
