The Mount Tahoma Trail System (MTTA) is a volunteer organization operating a Hut-to Hut Trail System near Ashford, WA. There are 3 huts and a Yurt. In the north district you will find Copper Creek hut. High Hut, Snow Bowl, and the Yurt are located on the southside. During the winter, the roads to the huts are groomed to allow cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. In the summer, visitors can hike to our southside huts along forest roads.
The huts and Yurt are located in a wilderness setting. Visitors should be self-sufficient and prepared for visiting the backcountry. Communication is spotty and response times to emergencies are unpredictable and may take several days. Do not count on resources always being available. Visitors need to know their own capabilities and carry the 10 essentials when visiting the huts and Yurt.
Our volunteer organization relies on the contributions of individuals like you. We pride ourselves on the free and low cost winter recreation opportunities we are able to provide to the public each year. The MTTA trails and huts are a winter playground for everyone to enjoy and we are proud to be the ones that maintain it for public use. If you would like to support us, please consider making a donation to MTTA. You can become a member or make online donations through PayPal.
