Upcoming CMC Scheduled Hikes Have Been Cancelled
Effective 3/17/2020, as a precaution, the CMC Council has decided to cancel all upcoming scheduled hikes until further notice. This is a socially responsible course of action to take in order to do our part to help mitigate the spread of the Covid-19 Virus. Updates will be posted when additional information is available.
2020 Spring Social April 18 - Cancelled
The Carolina Mountain Hiking Club Council voted to cancel the Spring Social due to health concerns. Given the circumstances, the board felt that this action was necessary to protect the health of the club members. A decision to reschedule has not been made at this time.
Help Rehabilitate the AT
Join the Carolina Mountain Club (CMC) as part of the Remote Overnight Crew (ROC) on April 18 and 19 on the Appalachian Trail as we renovate a more remote section of the A.T. The Carolina Mountain Club Trail Maintenance Crew members and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) are partnering to offer a unique opportunity to spend the weekend assisting in the rehabilitation of the AT as it traverses north of Max Patch in the Cherokee and Pisgah National Forests. This section is between Max Patch and Lemon Gap near the Roaring Fork shelter, which may be our base for operations, TBD. Expect between a 0.5 and 1 mile hike in to the campsite.
