Join Us!
We love to hike and work on our beloved trails, and we want you to join us. You can check us out through several hikes with us, or you can join first by clicking on the Join button on our home page. Please contact the hike leader ahead of time if you’re not a member.
Please browse our web site to see other activities you might like. We’re a non-profit with no paid staff, so we depend on volunteers to keep our club going. We would welcome your help!

Call for CMC Service Award Nominations
The Carolina Mountain Club honors service to the Club in three ways: the Award of Appreciation for members who have rendered exceptional service during a given year; the Distinguished Service Award for members who have made consistent and cumulatively extraordinary contributions during their membership; and, the highest award, Honorary Life Membership. As an all-volunteer organization, we depend on our members to carry out the business of the club. The recipients of all of these awards have gone above and beyond in their efforts to ensure the success of the Carolina Mountain Club.
IF YOU KNOW OF A MEMBER WHOM YOU BELIEVE SHOULD RECEIVE A CMC SERVICE AWARD, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO THE AWARD COMMITTEE CHAIR, JEFF WILCOX (jwilcox@unca.edu) by September 30, 2022 and SHARE THEIR NAME AND THE REASONS FOR YOUR NOMINATION.
There are no current breaking news notices to show you at this time.
