WTA is a nonprofit that needs you

We're just as excited as you to get the summer hiking season started. We're psyched our website, app and work for trails help you get outside.

But we're a nonprofit that runs on donations from regular people. If everyone who visited this site this holiday weekend donated $9/month, it would fully fund our work for the next 2 years. Time spent outdoors is priceless, but every donation large or small helps us support those experiences for everyone. Thank you and happy hiking!

Hiking Deception Pass State Park - North Beach

A wooded hike from the West Beach area of Deception Pass State Park to the North Beach Parking Area. Enjoy the numerous side trails to the wonderful beach and rock outcroppings along the way.

As one of the state's busiest parks, the beaches can get very crowded, but this trail has relatively low traffic. It's a great way to get close to the beach and views of the bridge without the crowds. 

WTA worked here in 2012 and 2011!
