Venture into the Mohawk Trail State Forest for a 7.4-mile loop hike in some of the most beautiful terrain Massachusetts has to offer, summiting 2 peaks and gaining 2,100 ft of elevation. One goal of this WHP hike is to prepare for the White Mountains in winter, so we plan to move at a moderate pace.
Join Jesse and Chris for a 4.2 mile hike will take us around the Rock Circuit in Middlesex Fells.
Since we're doing the rock circuit, what better theme for this hike than Rock and Roll? At the trailhead or when we stop for water breaks, be prepared to tell the group about your favorite rock band, song, or album!
This hike, like all AMC hikes, will follow proper social distancing protocols and masks will be required.
Join us for a beautiful hike at the Blue Hills Reservation. Be prepared for up to about a 4-hour moderate hike with some rock scrambling and steep terrain. Bring a backpack with water, warm layering (we'll give an update based on the forecast), snacks, lunch, mask, hand sanitizer.

We'll be using Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) to watch the 2014 documentary Virunga.
In order to join, you'll need a Netflix subscription, and you'll need to install the Teleparty browser extension in Chrome. If there's interest, we may hop on Zoom following the documentary so we can chat for a bit.
Here's the trailer for the film if you'd like to check that out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUFCtFtV3mE&ab_channel=ATW%2FAKA
Grab your virtual climbing shoes and join the AMC Boston Chapter Climbing Community for a night of conversation and networking with your peers.
Cost for the session is FREE! Simply register for the event and we'll send you the connection information on the day of the session.
Registration limited to participants who completed the 2020 Winter Hiking Program. If you feel obligated to hike, now that you have taken the WHP, you might as well try to enjoy this hike. As originally planned, we will be hiking Mt. Tom. The only thing that has changed about this trip is the Mt. Tom we will be attempting to scale. We will be doing the highest summit in Holyoke MA. This is not a 4,000'er. You could do this three times and not climb 4,000'. This hike will cover roughly the same distance as the hike to the Mt. Tom in the Whites. There will be no ladders to climb.
The next meeting of the Appalachian Mountain Club's Boston Chapter Executive Committee will be on Monday, February 1, 2021. Meetings of the Executive Committee are open to all AMC members.
Due to ongoing Covid-19 distancing, this meeting will be held remotely.
Meeting Time: 7:00pm - 9:15pm

Come out to Waterville Valley with Mike and Jim and put your backcountry ski skills to good use on this 11 mile / 1500 vertical foot gain route that goes out on the Greeley Pond trail, up the steeper and more remote Kancamagus Brook trail - HEY LOOK AT THOSE GREAT VIEWS - and then back down the mellower Livermore Trail/Road. This is an advanced trip that will likely take all day. You need to have enough backcountry ski experience to handle some steeper sections and variable conditions, and we recommend metal edged backcountry skis.

In March 2019, Katie climbed Margherita Peak in Uganda's stunning and remote Mountains of the Moon (Rwenzori Mountains). Now a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site straddling the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Rwenzori range boasts a pristine and surreal landscape ranging from jungle to alpine to glacier - as well as Africa's third highest peak - but sees hardly any visitors. Her talk will cover a brief history of these little-known mountains, her experience, logistics, and what to expect if you want to hike there before the glaciers melt!
Join us for a virtual watch party of some of this year's Banff Mountain Film Festival movies! We'll hang out on Discord and enjoy the films together(ish).
