Special Half-Day Event 9am-12pm: The Washington Trails Association (WTA) seeks youth and families (and hikers of all ages) to participate in a work party right in Vancouver's "backyard". Bring your child (and inner child) to connect with nature while building a new section of trail for future generations to enjoy.

WTA provides all tools and instruction plus post work party refreshments. No prior experience with trail work needed, just a willingness to lend a hand. On this project the crew is building a new trail reroute that will replace a section of trail that is often muddy. The new trail will shed water better and provide a much nicer hiking experience.

Whipple Creek Park is a 300-acre green oasis in the midst of farmlands to the west of the Clark County Fairgrounds. This hike loops through colossal Douglas fir trees and waist-high sword ferns to provide a primordial experience where you are dwarfed by nature. There is a small meadow for a picnic and the remnants of a grist mill to explore. This hike is a great way to escape urban life and be immersed in a peaceful forest environment.
