I come here hiking all the time. The AMC staff are an added bonus ‐ they helped me find new trails to hike and taught me new things about plant life and animal behaviors. Great to have interesting and informative people here that added to my experience.

AMC Visitor

I kept trying to get my boyfriend to come out here and visit because he didn’t believe there was such a huge, beautiful park right outside of NYC. We finally made it and were surprised to find a visitor center right by a hiking trail. The best part was the AMC naturalist who gave us all kinds of information about wildlife, trees, plants, and bears...something we never experience where we live.

AMC Visitor

You are one of the very few to ensure your map products are accurate and of the best quality for the public and the trails program. Thank you so much for that. With all the blogs and sites available, it’s so refreshing to work with someone who wants to get it right.

AMC Trail Manager

I became involved with AMC because of my love for the outdoors, and the organization’s myriad types of trip offerings, at all levels, led by experienced guides. Hiking, skiing, bicycling, water sports, even international travel, you name it—AMC has it all!

AMC Member

I’m proud to support the variety of work from Maine dark skies to regional trail maintenance projects. I’ve also enjoyed AMC maintained trails and huts from NJ to NH.
