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!

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From Seattle drive east on I-90 to exit 39. Turn east onto old US 10 and drive 2 miles, paralleling I-90. At 2 miles turn right onto Forest Road 9020. In another mile this rough road crosses the Iron Horse Trail, then at 4.5 miles from the freeway exit you'll cross the McClel-lan Butte Trail. For the next 3.5 miles the road is rough (high-clearance vehicle recommended). At a fork in the road, about 8 miles from the freeway (elev. 2350 ft), find a place to park. The road continues, but it degrades the higher you climb, so better to trust your feet rather than your wheels from here on out.
