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 and work for trails help you get outside.

But we're a nonprofit run on donations from regular people. If everyone who visited this website this holiday weekend donated $9/month, it would fully fund our work for the next 2 years. Of course, time spent outdoors is priceless, but every donation large or small helps us support those experiences for everyone.

Please take 2 minutes to chip in $9.

Thank you and happy hiking!

The trailhead for the Bluff Trail, found along Forest Road 93 provides an exceptional view of Mount Adams and the Lewis River Valley. The trail itself loses 1,800 feet as it descends along a Douglas-fir covered ridgeline before connecting to the Lewis River Trail south of the Lower Falls Campground.
