Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
Founded in 1933, the Trail Blazers is a volunteer organization that stocks and monitors trout in many of the alpine lakes in Washington State's wilderness areas. The club's aim is to preserve the lakes and their rich resources as alpine fishing areas, and the Trail Blazers have devoted numerous volunteer hours to restocking lakes in conjunction with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
In 1952, Outdoor Life magazine presented the club with the Conservation Award for their work and commitment to the maintenance of trails, alpine lake restocking, and general wilderness preservation.
