Trail Heroes: Ordinary People Doing Amazing Things!

Everyone who is a part of our community is a superhero in their own way. We are an organization with a nearly 50-year history of ordinary hikers coming together and doing remarkable things for trails.

When we asked you to share your trail heroes, and we received so many inspiring stories that we ran out of room in our special edition comic book in our latest member magazine! In compiling the issue below, we discovered that, young or old, new to hiking or a longtime volunteer, small acts or grand achievements—what makes a trail hero is someone with a passion for the outdoors and the desire to help others.

So read about a few of the incredible people doing incredible things for trails. And please accept our thanks to all of Washington’s trail heroes—and that includes you!
