Fireside Circle

WTA's Fireside Circle mingles with WTA Board members on a recent hike to Anderson Watson Lakes. By Janice Van Cleve.

Washington Trails Association’s work for the hiking community could not be as thoughtful and proactive without the steadfast and significant support of our Fireside Circle donors, special contributors who give $500 or more annually to WTA.

For hikers, mountain climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts who value trails and protected wildlands as a top priority, making a significant annual pledge to Washington Trails Association is one great way to help ensure a wide array of hiking opportunities for your own recreation and for the enjoyment of generations to come.

Please consider joining more than 200 other donors as part of Washington Trails Association's Fireside Circle today!
