Over 8,000+ hikes, walks, canoe and kayak outings, and bike trips, singles events, backpacks, ski activities, and other outdoor events annually plus Conservation, trail maintenance and outdoor leadership training. Make AMC your connection to the great outdoors!

AMC has 110,000 members, outdoor advocates, and supporters; 16,000 volunteers; and 12 chapters from Maine to Virginia. It is the oldest outdoor recreation and conservation organization (circa 1876) in the nation.

"The New York-North Jersey Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club" celebrates its 100th Anniversary in 2012, and is the first Chapter to be formed in AMC. We promote the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Appalachian region, and believe these resources have intrinsic worth and provide recreational opportunities, spiritual renewal, and ecological and economic health for the region.
