The Appalachian Mountain Club New York - North Jersey Chapter celebrates its 100th Anniversary in 2012. 

Our AMC members enjoy over 8,000 hikes; walks; paddle trips; singles events; backpacks, biking and ski activities; and conservation and outdoor training throughout the year. Join us today and participate in the great outdoors!

The AMC is the nation’s oldest outdoor recreation and conservation organization with over 100,000 members, advocates, and supporters; 16,000 volunteers; and over 450 full time and seasonal staff. AMC has 12 chapters from Maine to Washington D.C. The New York North Jersey Chapter is AMC's first Chapter.

Since 1876 the AMC, a non profit 501C (3) organization, has promoted the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Appalachian region.
