Mission

The Mission of the Carolina Mountain Club is:

  • to explore the mountains of Western North Carolina and adjacent regions through its hiking trails and rivers,

  • to carry out the responsibilities we have been given by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to develop and maintain our assigned section of the Appalachian Trail and to act as its stewards.

  • to develop and maintain other hiking trails in Western North Carolina as approved by the Club Council,

  • to encourage the conservation of our natural scenery,

  • to foster in Club members knowledge and enjoyment of hiking, trail construction and maintenance, and fellowship and enjoyment of the out-of-doors.
