The Appalachian Mountain Club promotes the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Appalachian region.

We believe these resources have intrinsic worth and also provide recreational opportunities, spiritual renewal, and ecological and economic health for the region. Because successful conservation depends on active engagement with the outdoors, we encourage people to experience, learn about, and appreciate the natural world.

Get outdoors. Learn new skills. Meet new people. Have fun. When you join the country's oldest outdoor club, you can do all this - while helping to protect the mountains, forests, waters, and trails.  Membership includes:
