The MST is fortunate to have many Trail Angels, volunteers who provide assistance to long-distance hikers ranging from local information to lodging and food.

We greatly appreciate our Trail Angels’ willingness to give back to the hiking community and the MST. If you are interested in becoming a Trail Angel, please contact Friends through our Volunteer page.

For information about Trail Angels along the trail, click the plus sign to open the entry for the segment you are interested in. Neither Friends of the MST nor the Trail Angels guarantee availability of services for any individual hiker or at any particular time.

Hiker & Trail Angel Etiquette

The Trail Angel community that supports hikers on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail is friendly, eager to help and essential in many parts in the state. As the MST continues to grow in popularity, reliance on volunteer Trail Angels is also growing. Because this relationship is critical, we’ve developed common sense guidelines for the hiker and trail angel network.
