Alpine Lakes Foundation: The grant will help support a 2026 Hatchery Creek Trail restoration project in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, with most of the work to be done by a Washington Trails Association (WTA) “pro crew.” This is a critical window of time in which to recover this once-popular trail, restoring meaningful public access and helping disperse recreational use in the area — including easing some of the pressure on the nearby Enchantments.
