Where We’re Going
The Foothills National Recreation Trail serves as the “spine” of the Pierce County Trail System, running through the communities of Buckley, Carbonado, Wilkeson, South Prairie, Orting, Puyallup and Sumner. Our vision is a 52-mile connected trail system from Mount Rainier National Park to the Ruston Way waterfront in Tacoma.

Who We Are
Foothills was founded as a community-led volunteer organization to transform an abandoned railway corridor into a connected trail to provide safe access for outdoor actives, preserve & protect the environment, and promote economic revitalization and historic preservation.

FOOTHILLS RAILS-TO-TRAILS COALITION

The Foothills Trail serves as the “spine” of the Pierce County Trail System, running through the communities of Buckley, Carbonado, Wilkeson, South Prairie, Enumclaw, Orting and Puyallup. The Foothills Rails-to-Trails Coalition works for the development and maintenance of former railroad-way trails to connect communities, provide safe access for outdoor activities promoting health and fitness, establish “green” transportation corridors, preserve and protect the environment, and promote economic revitalization and historic preservation for the communities we serve.
