The Hiking/Backpacking Committee of the Boston Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club provides safe and inexpensive opportunities for current and prospective AMC members to enjoy the hiking and backpacking community. To improve our members' appreciation of the outdoors, we also offer training courses several times a year on a variety of backcountry skills.
The H/B Committee is directed by volunteer coordinators who give the group its direction and establish its policies. These coordinators are supported by a legion of trained volunteers: trip leaders, co-leaders (leaders-in-training), environmentalists, and activists, who generously donate their time and a wealth of experience to create the outings and programs our members enjoy.
The H/B Committee has day and weekend hiking trips, instructional-programs and social events, averaging two to three outings every weekend of the year. Most of these trips involve hiking in the mountain ranges of New England and are lead entirely by unpaid volunteers. Most trips are free or have a very minimal cost.
