More Than A Great Hiking Club

We are organized to:

unite the energy, interest, and knowledge of the students, explorers, and lovers of the mountains of Colorado;

collect and disseminate information regarding the Rocky Mountains in behalf of science, literature, art, and recreation;

stimulate public interest in our mountain area;

encourage the preservation of forests, flowers, fauna, and natural scenery; and

render readily accessible the alpine attractions of this region.

   Welcome to the Colorado Mountain Club—the state's premier outdoor organization and one of the largest outdoor recreation, education and conservation clubs in the country. With the CMC you're about to get a lot more fulfillment out of our mountains and meet many others who share your interest in the outdoors.

   Each year the CMC sponsors thousands of activities within Colorado, plus numerous national and international outings and expeditions. As a member, you can take advantage of CMC classes in hiking, mountaineering, technical rock climbing, ice climbing, backpacking, cross-country skiing, avalanche safety, first aid, natural history, and many other subjects taught by CMC volunteers and other experts.

   The CMC also provides great opportunities for you to volunteer your own talents in countless ways, such as leading trips, teaching schools, serving on committees and sections of special interest, working on trail crews, and writing for CMC publications. Your voice will also be united with thousands of fellow members to protect the Colorado mountains we love: The CMC is one of Colorado's most respected authorities on conservation issues.

   The CMC has a proud tradition of service not only to its members but to the general public. From its first outing in 1912 to the present, the CMC has been dedicated to making possible high levels of service and safe participation in outdoor activities; providing enjoyment and education to its members; and protecting the outstanding natural environment of the Rocky Mountain region.
