About us

Thanks for being a part of our Meetup group, and AMC Boston 20s and 30s. For those of you who are new, this email is to give some basic information about how you can get more involved with us and get on even more trips (our other websites have more trip postings than you’ll find here on Meetup!)
AMC Boston 20's and 30's is a group of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), dedicated to encouraging people in their 20s and 30s to get involved in the AMC and enjoy the outdoors. 
With many volunteer leaders and co-leaders, we offer a variety of activities and events (both online and in-person). You may find us leading day hikes, backpacking, social events, local walks, trail maintenance, conservation work, kayaking, mountain biking, bicycling, skiing, camping, ice skating, and other activities. We sponsor trips throughout the year, most of which involve exploring different regions of New England. Check out some photos of our activities here!
If you want to be kept up to date with even more of our events, be sure to check the official postings at activities.outdoors.org. We do cross post some events to meetup but you have to register via the link in the description (signing up on Meetup does not approve you for the trip).
There are other ways to stay engaged with us.

  • 20s and 30s Late Fall Hike to Liberty and Flume

    20s and 30s Late Fall Hike to Liberty and Flume

    Location not specified yet

    Activity Type: Hiking, Local Walks, & Trail Running | Hiking
    Difficulty: 6 - Strenuous
    Trip Leader(s): Ian Baker, Richa Naik
    Registration Type: Application

    https://activities.outdoors.org/a5UVX000001KBEr
    Audience: 20’s & 30’s

    Description: Join us for a late fall hike to Liberty and Flume, two of the 48 four thousand footers near Franconia Notch. Liberty and Flume feature moderate grades almost the entire way, and (weather permitting) both summits have an outstanding view!
    This hike is approximately 9.5 miles in length with approximately 4,050' of elevation gain, which we will hike at a moderate pace (aiming for 1.5mph across the entire hike not including breaks for a total hike time of around 7-8 hours).
    Most of the route features moderate, though steady and consistent, climbing. Because of the time of year, however, be aware that we may very well encounter snow or ice on the trail. While we are not requiring prospective participants to own microspikes, you do need clothing and layers appropriate to late fall hiking and willingness to utilize a loaner pair of microspikes if necessary.
    Participants must have recent hiking experience on similarly-strenuous peaks in New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, or New York, plus a regular, robust cardio exercise regimen and appropriate 3-season hiking gear. After registering for the hike, one of the leaders will contact you to schedule a time to talk on the phone for ~15 minutes to discuss your recent hiking experience, fitness regimen, and gear to ensure the hike is a suitable fit.
    To address unforeseen challenges such as adverse weather, unacceptable trail conditions or excessive crowding, the planned trip destination, activity and/or meeting place and time may be modified. In that event, participants may elect to join in that activity or opt out. We will hold Sunday, October 25 as a backup date for this hike if weather conditions prohibit us from hiking on Saturday.
