Washington Alpine Club Outings 

Club Outings are an excellent way to get outdoors, meet some members of our Club, and have lots of fun! Non-members and guests are always welcome!

Club Outings happen all through the year. This year we will do ski trips, snowshoe trips, work parties, and social events, as well as a river trip on the Columbia River, Olympic Wilderness Beach Cleanup at Jefferson Cove, a bike trip on the San Juan Islands, trips to Mt. Rainier, and numerous climbs and hikes.

Do you have an idea for a trip or event that you would like to lead?
Would you like to practice and improve your leadership skills?
Contact Jonathan Pryce for more information at jonathanpryce@comcast.net
