Welcome to the Issaquah Alps web site!
Chips Off the Alpiner
The Alpiner is the quarterly newsletter of the Issaquah Alps and comes out as a mailed newsletter. Article titles (and occassional bylines) are posted here to give you an idea of content available. The Alpiner also posts all the hikes that are available--the web site only posts a portion of hikes. If you are interested in getting on the mailing list for the The Alpiner, go to Membership for the form and contact instructions.

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION? If you have any questions about your membership in the IATC, or have had any problems with the delivery of your ALPINER, please email Jackie Hughes.
