Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC)

Based in Boston, the Appalachian Mountain Club is an outdoor recreation and conservation organization. It offers stays at mountain lodges and backcountry huts, with on-site naturalist programming, family activities, and guided adventures. Guided outings include hikes, bike rides, paddles, workshops, and events for different ages and skill levels. Members can access savings on gear, lodging, and trips, and take part in learning and volunteer opportunities. AMC supports conservation through trail work, educational programming, sustainable land management, and advocacy across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Local chapters connect participants with outings, conservation projects, and other outdoor enthusiasts. The organization also provides books and maps, trail conditions and weather reports, a shuttle to popular White Mountain trailheads, and trip-planning resources.
