Appalachian Mountain Club

A great way to spend more time appreciating the outdoors.

by Contributor

Overview
Had enough of crowded beaches and congested bike trails? AMC, the region's largest recreation and conservation club, will take you to the most pristine, exciting places in New England. Members receive discounts at AMC-operated huts, lodges and camps, as well as a subscription to AMC Outdoors, the club's monthly magazine. Members are also eligible for free affiliation with one of the club's 11 regional chapters.

The Appeal
AMC is the region's largest recreation and conservation club. It distributes the best trail guides, maps, nature hike books and, of course, the White Mountain Guide, which is the New Hampshire climber's bible. But you can go it alone and still take advantage of the AMC-operated huts, lodges or camps. Stay above the tree line, but sleep in a hut with morning and evening meals provided.
