The great outdoors of Washington is calling you! And for one whole day this summer, you can get outside and try it all – as much as you can fit in one day.

Presented by Washington Trails Association, TrailsFest is a hands-on event for all ages, providing adventurers with a fun and safe environment to explore the outdoors. This outdoor extravaganza features clinics on everything from mountain weather to hiking with kids to ultra-lite trekking. Take a guided hike, try fly-fishing, paddle a kayak or climb a rock wall. Visit the dozens of exhibitors, including gear companies and outdoor recreation groups. It's all at TrailsFest!

TrailsFest is jam-packed with fun. TrailsFest's many classes and activities offer something for everyone, from kids and families, to novice adventurers, to experienced hikers!

TrailsFest is your passport to the great outdoors this summer. Admission is free!
