Encouraging and supporting more people to pursue health and happiness by hiking in nature

Welcome to HikeWest

HikeWest is the peak body for hiking in WA. We are a not-for-profit association committed to promoting hiking, encouraging hiking participation and advocating in the interests of hikers, in keeping with our vision of seeing more people hiking in Western Australia more often.

We are recognised by the WA State Government as a State Active Recreation Organisation and supported by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.

Hiking is for everyone. There’s no better way than hiking to discover and value the natural beauty of our parks and forests.

Your support helps ensure that the interests and concerns of the hiking community are heard and strongly represented. Our members and supporters can expect to see hiking gain a greater profile in recreation in the State.

Find out more about us and our mission to encourage and support more people to pursue health and happiness by hiking in nature.

From a short walk in a park to a wilderness adventure; Bushwalking offers it all. Don’t miss out!
