Explore 4,000+ hikes in Washington with the state’s most trusted app. See the latest trail conditions and photos in thousands of trip reports. Find dog-friendly hikes and access verified directions to trailheads across the state, plus crucial info about required passes, permits, and closure alerts. Search, save, and access locally-researched and verified hike info offline. Washington Trails Association’s app lets you…
GET OUTSIDE SAFELY
- Trailhead weather forecasts from NOAA help you know what the weather’s like on trail
- Red alerts highlight trail closures, so you know about them before you get to the trailhead
- Trip reports written by other hikers include current road and trail conditions and seasonal features like ripe berries or fall foliage.
FIND A HIKE
- Customize your search with filters for length, elevation gain, passes and what features you want to see on trail (waterfalls, rivers, great views, etc.)
- Find hikes near you using your phone’s location, or using WTA’s Hike Finder Map or region filters
- Find hikes based on pass and permit requirements
- Kid-, dog- and wheelchair-friendly trails with dedicated filters for each.
- Difficulty ratings help you decide if a hike is right for you.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE
- Creating an account with WTA lets you write your own trip reports, save hike information for later, and access it offline, including the driving directions to the trailhead and detailed trail descriptions. Plus, when you have an account, you can:
- File your own trip reports and share the pictures you took on trail
- View and write comments on trip reports
- Like other user’s trip reports
- Sync your app activity with the web version of wta.org, where you can mark hikes as done and access our hike recommender. The more hikes you save and trip reports you write, the better the recommendations you get.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app for hikers!
Searching for a hike has never been this easy! You can find hikes in any region, see what the rating is, mileage of the hike, and see if it is kid friendly and/or dog friendly. You can even see trip reports of all the hikes other people did, and write your own trip report after you’ve done your hike. I did two hikes this summer and this app helped me do my research.
I just wished they added a feature where users can see the “Volunteers” page and scroll through them to see different events available like a Trail Work Party, like the one on the WTA website.
Love this app!
This is my favorite app for finding hikes in Washington. It’s easier and more informative than AllTrails with better directions to the site. It has a wider selection of hiking areas and it’s easier to fine tune what you might like from that information. The trip reports are super helpful and the reasons for difficulty ratings are more transparent.
The only thing I would like is a better way to search the trip reports. Maybe by date because if I’m going on a hike in April, I would like to see all spring hikes from past years to get a general idea of the trail conditions. I would also love to search within trip reports. If the WTA description mentions a particular feature that could be challenging for me or my kid, I would like to search for that specific rocky climb area or brief wall climb and see other people’s thoughts. Or just searching through reports with photos.
But other than that... perfect!
Love this app but wish they included maps
WTA is super informative and helpful as an organization, and this is my preferred go-to app for finding hikes. Informative, clean, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to navigate. No ads. The trip reports provide helpful information about trail conditions, road conditions, closures, snow, washouts, etc. I regularly find safety information on WTA that was not even mentioned on Alltrails.
My one and only wish for the app is that they consider integrating topo maps. There are maps on the website (though these don’t highlight the route), but not on the app. If there is a way to incorporate these maps into the app, it would make trip planning so much easier! Just a thought. Thank you for all that you do!
