As Hike-a-Thon 2010 comes to a close, we share stories from the 118 hikers who jumped right in.

Trail Maintenance

Thorp Mountain Lookout 150

Huckleberry Volunteer Vacation

We're looking for a few good volunteers who like to have fun, get a little trail work done and eat huckleberries!

The Thorp Lake Volunteer Vacation on Sept. 11-18 needs you. It's one of the most appealing vacations of the year too. Not only fields of berries, but fabulous views and the chance to hike up to the Thorp Mountain Lookout too.

Hike of the week

Toleak Point Kim Brown 150

Toleak Point Traverse

Still looking for a backpacking trip to take this long holiday weekend? We suggest a trip to the Pacific Coast - a traverse from Third Beach to Oil City via Toleak Point.

It's wild. It's stunning. It's romantic. It's challenging too, with headlands, tides and creeks to contend with. Most of all, it's an unforgettable hike.

Sponsor a Hike-a-Thoner!

August is complete, and so is Hike-a-Thon. The 118 participants this year are now tallying their miles and reporting to their sponsors.

They may not be beating feet for Hike-a-Thon anymore, but you can still sponsor your favorite hiker until September 10th. All proceeds go to fund WTA - helping to pay for this website, funding trail maintenance crews and advocating for trails.
