AMC Trail Building and Maintenance

Pennsylvania welcomes the new Highlands TrailAMC built its first trail into Tuckerman Ravine in 1879, and organized its first professional trail crew in 1919. Today it continues its proud tradition of recreation planning, trail building, and trail maintenance, working with public agencies, private land managers, and other trail clubs throughout the Northeast. Our techniques and approach are included in AMC's Complete Guide to Trail Building and Maintenance, now in its fourth edition.
