The Appalachian Mountain Club is looking for men, women, and children who share our love of the outdoors--and our commitment to preserving our region's natural beauty. 

You name it--we've got it!

Our members participate in virtually every Earth-friendly outdoor activity you can name! From beginners to experts, they are into hiking, camping, and backpacking...cross-country skiing and snowshoeing... rock climbing and bicycling...nature photography and bird watching...and relaxing alongside nature. 

Indulge yourself

Pursue your special interests, or learn new skills by attending an AMC Workshop. Meet other people who share the love of the outdoors on a local AMC chapter outing. Explore the Northern Forest. Bring the kids to Pinkham Lodge for a Family Discovery Weekend. Take a guided hut-to-hut trip in the White Mountains. Paddle the Delaware Water Gap. AMC activities are fun and geared for all levels of interest.
