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.
