Our mission statement:

The Appalachian Mountain Club promotes the protection, enjoyment and wise use of the mountains, rivers, and trails of the Appalachian region. We believe that mountains and rivers have an intrinsic worth and also provide recreational opportunities, spiritual renewal, and ecological and economic health for the region. We encourage people to enjoy and appreciate the natural world because we believe that successful conservation depends on this experience.

So what do we actually do?

  • Lead a wide variety of outdoor activities;
  • Maintain hiking trails and cabins and work to preserve our wilderness areas;
  • Teach clinics, workshops, and classes on outdoors and leadership skills; and
  • Have fun.
