Conservation
is in our
roots

Since 1876, and today more than ever. The Appalachian Mountain Club mission is to protect the places we love, ensuring ongoing access to the Northeast’s most precious natural resources for recreation and education.

A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the AMC and our volunteers care for more than 1,800 miles of trails, including nearly 350 miles of the Appalachian Trail in 5 states. Join us for all-season adventures from our 16 base camp lodges and high mountain huts.
