Trails for everyone, forever

Home Our Work About Us Accomplishments Where We Worked 2021
Where We Worked 2021 Here's where WTA's volunteer and paid trail maintenance crews worked in 2021 improving Washington's trail network.

Where WTA Worked in 2021

As always, WTA did a lot of work this year. How much is a lot? More than 3,000 individual volunteers contributed 128,000+ trail maintenance hours on more than 1,500 work parties in 304 locations statewide! Whew. Youth volunteers were a significant part of this work. Our youth trail events welcomed 508 individual youth, who did 8,040 hours of volunteer work this year.

    The Upper South Fork Skokomish River to Sundown Pass can be considered a tale of two trails.

  • Red Marker Yellow Aster Butte
    Find supreme wildflower gardens and a high-country plateau speckled with shimmering tarns-but that's not all. Spectacular alpine vistas abound too-of Baker, Shuksan, and all those rugged and craggy peaks straddling the 49th parallel.

This is a truly wild and remote corner of the Olympics that leaves a lasting impression on the lucky hiker who experiences its beauty.
