American Alpine Club
The American Alpine Club was formed to share and support passion for climbing and respect for the places we climb. A united community of competent climbers, the AAC provides authoritative climbing information, knowledge, and resources to benefit and inspire current and future generations. Advocacy and leadership advances climbing interests and promotes conservation, and community and competency strengthen and embolden to push limits.
Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association
The Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association began in 1983 as an off-trail family of fellow hikers and friends of the trail who’ve all shared similar experiences, hopes and dreams on the Appalachian Trail and other trails. Membership is open to all, regardless of whether you’ve hiked from Georgia to Maine, or just walked from your car to a trailhead.
Appalachian Trail Conservancy
Established in 1925, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) leads the effort to protect, maintain and celebrate the A.T. We are part of a unique cooperative-management system, working with numbers of local, state and federal partners to ensure greater protections for the Trail. Our partners include the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, dozens of state agencies and 31 local Trail-maintaining clubs. The ATC is largely funded by its more than 30,000 members and over 600,000 supporters located throughout all 50 states and in more than 15 countries. Their support ensures that the one-of-a-kind A.T. hiking experience is protected from development, increasing use of the outdoors and other dangers.
The mission of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy is to protect, manage, and advocate for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
Colorado Mountain Club
The Colorado Mountain Club is the Rocky Mountain community for mountaincraft education, adventure, and conservation. We exist to bring people together and share our love of the mountains and community. From the uninitiated to the expert, there is a place for everyone here.
Founded in 1912, the CMC has built a legacy of responsible outdoor leadership and ethics, paired with a healthy spirit of adventure. Our heart beats from historic headquarters in Golden, Colorado, where we’re constantly fueled by the time we spend—and the experiences we share—in the wilderness.
Our peer-to-peer, skill-progression approach forges human connections, fosters mentorship, and turns aspirations into realities. We share knowledge and give support to advance our abilities, build confidence, and pass on these experiences to inspire the next generation. Conservation and stewardship are woven into our history and identity. Our work in conservation dates back to the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park. With greater significance than ever before, we are determined to pass down pristine wilderness and a stable climate with clean air and water.

Maine Appalachian Trail Club
The Maine Appalachian Trail Club (MATC) is a volunteer, nonprofit corporation that was organized on June 18, 1935, to assume responsibility for the management, maintenance and protection of the Appalachian Trail (AT) in Maine. Except for its limited role in Baxter State Park and excluding 14 miles south of Grafton Notch, the MATC is responsible for all Trail and Trail structure design, construction, and maintenance, campsite maintenance and projects, for monitoring activities in the AT corridor, and for basic public information and education regarding the Trail in Maine.
The MATC is not a hiking or outing club. It exists solely for the protection and perpetuation of the AT. The MATC is not affiliated with nor is it a part of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). The MATC and the AMC are two separate organizations, although both are involved with protection and maintenance of the AT.

Northern Forest Canoe Trail
The Northern Forest Canoe Trail calls to a sense of adventure, a desire to immerse oneself in the natural world and test personal limits. Those who travel its waters experience beauty, joy, challenges, and the incredible hospitality of the people and communities the trail strings together.
As the organization charged with stewarding this grand adventure, we work to draw people to the Northern Forest Region with the lure of the trail. Once here, we foster connection with the landscapes and communities and encourage patronage for the infrastructure that allows access for all and supports local community resilience.
