If you have not hiked with this group before, please be sure to call or email the hike leader for the hike (or other event) in which you would like to participate. This will help you to choose a hike that is at your experience level (mileage, pace, strenuousness, weather concerns, water/food/gear).

Please note that all CT-AMC Young Member events, though intended for participants in the 20's -30's age group and are run by Young Members, with young members interests in mind, are nevertheless open to all.
