Founded in May, 1979, The Issaquah Alps Trail Club offers free guided hikes and a voice for protection of our open
spaces, trails, and quality of life.
The club's mission is to act as custodian of the trails and the lush, open, tree-covered mountaintops known as the
Issaquah Alps.
These mountains, so christened by Harvey Manning in 1976, are those low mountains which face I-90 between Bellevue and
North Bend: Cougar, Squak, Tiger, Taylor and Rattlesnake Mountains. Also within the Issaquah Alps are Grand Ridge and
Mitchell Hill as well as the corridors leading to these mountains. The Issaquah Alps Trails system was developed and
is maintained by IATC. Members serve as advocates as well as hike leaders.
Here is How You Can Help
Volunteer your time to lead hikes, participate on special
projects, trail maintenance and IATC administrative functions.
Regular/annual donations (suggested donation of $25) will
cover the cost of printing and mailing the Alpiner and part
of the club's overhead expenses.
Additional donations cover the remainder of
IATC's overhead expenses and generate funds for
special events, projects, publications and ensuring that trail maintenance
tools are fit and ample.
