Walla Walla Heritage Walks
The best way to enjoy downtown Walla Walla and surrounding neighborhoods and parks is on foot. There are so many historic buildings and homes that feature various architectural styles. Often these historic places are beautifully landscaped, which adds interest to the walks. These four historic walks pair a few miles of exploring with fun facts about the area.

WHAT TO DO
Walking Path
Walla Walla Heritage developed four walking guides presented in the Walla Walla Heritage Walking Tour brochures. The walks feature a Downtown Historic Trail Guide, Historic Homes Trail Guide, Up Boyer and to Pioneer Park Trail Guide, and Fort Walla Walla Trail Guide. The longest walk is three miles.
WHAT TO EXPECT
These brochures were completed in 2003, and just as the structures withstood the test of time, so have the guides. Many of the businesses noted may have transitioned or closed, but the information presented about the buildings, artwork, and historical figures are all still viable.
Field Notes
Pets: In general, pets are allowed on a leash and under control throughout jurisdictions. The only restrictions we have encountered are around swimming areas. As a best practice, be mindful of riparian habitat in general. You never know where a precious spawning area might be located. Pack it in and pack it out applies to your furry friend as well.
Disclaimer: While the Outside Walla Walla team has enjoyed all the adventures listed on this site, we cannot provide real-time conditions & maintenance reports. Extreme weather can change access overnight. Volunteer groups might lose capacity to manage trail systems. We do our best to report that information and update our site accordingly, but please read our Disclaimer (footer) and proceed with any adventure as your comfort level allows.
WHEN TO GO
Walla Walla enjoys four seasons, and with each season brings a new way to experience the valley. Many of these walks feature historic homes with beautiful yards. Spring is an excellent time to enjoy blooming trees and flowers surrounding one-of-a-kind architecture.
HOW TO GET THERE
Follow the instructions on the Walla Walla Heritage Walking Tour brochure. The written information correlates with the locations on the map, so it is self guided.
