We advocate protection of hiking trails, take volunteers out to maintain them, and promote hiking as a healthy, fun way to explore Washington. Ira Spring and Louise Marshall co-founded WTA in 1966 as a response to the lack of a political voice for Washington’s hiking community. WTA is now the largest state-based hiker advocacy organization in the country, with over 5,500 members and more than 1,800 volunteers. -

Little White Salmon Valley Memories
LITTLE WHITE SALMON AREA MEMORIES (MILL A FLATS) Composed by Carl Nielsen of Mill A Flat (circa 1973-74) Early-day flume at Mill A. LITTLE WHITE SALMON AREA MEMORIES (MILL A FLATS) Composed by Carl Nielsen of Mill A Flat (circa 1973-74) Only reasonable care has been made to fix dates, names and places accurately. Part of the narrative is based upon the recollections of people who told their stories at various times to the author. Part is based upon the authors own observations and from historical publications pertaining to this region. Without diligent search of the records it would be hard to determine at what date the first white settlers came to the valley. Land deeds in the authors possession show a homestead patent in the Mill A area granted in 1881. If the pioneer had put in his waiting period on the claim it would mean that he was probably living here in the late 1870s. Many people were living on timber claims in the 1880s and 1890s. The trail along the north shore of the Columbia which passes through the lower part of the Little White Samon Valley was no doubt in use by the Indians for hundreds of years before the whites came. The trail was used by the early-day trappers, particularly the Hudsons Bay Co., and later by the pioneers who crossed the plains. Many of them drove their stock down the trail while rafting their wagons and other goods through the gorge. Some of these people may have explored or camped a litttle in the valley before continuing their journey. -

Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System.
