Do you like the outdoors? So do we. We are Boston Appalachian Mountain Club Young Members, and we are dedicated to creating a vibrant hiking community for people in their 20's and 30's in Boston. At our Spring Social, we invite you to mix and mingle with other outdoors enthusiasts, environmental activists, and future hiking buddies!
Tickets are $20 and include exclusive access to the 2nd and 3rd floors of The Baseball Tavern (including the rooftop bar!) and all you can eat appetizers.
This trip is ONLY available to participants of the Spring Hiking Program. No matter where you go, what trail you hike or how long your trip takes, your boot fit is crucial to an enjoyable experience. Choosing the right hiking boots is a process of savvy matchmaking. Join us at REI Boston (near Fenway) after work so that you can learn more about boots and try a few on. There will also be AMC leaders available to answer your questions (on boots or other gear).
