Welcome to the Pacific
Northwest Trail Association

The 1200 mile Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (PNNST), running from the Continental Divide to the Pacific Ocean, ranks among the most scenic trails in the world. This carefully chosen path is high for the views and long on adventure. It includes the Rocky Mountains, Selkirk Mountains, Pasayten Wilderness, North Cascades, Olympic Mountains, and Wilderness Coast. The trail crosses 3 National Parks and 7 National Forests. You can play an important role in developing, enjoying, and preserving the PNNST. Whether you are a PNNST hiker or volunteer, this web site welcomes you and offers you information, fellowship, and a forum to learn and share experiences.

The Pacific Northwest Trail Association is proud to be a member of the Partnership for the National Trails System!  As such, a small portion of the yearly dues to the PNTA go to support the Partnership and their efforts, in Congress, on behalf of all 30 National Scenic and Historic Trails.
