Dear Hiker,

Please read our "Trail Policies", "Suggestions to Hikers" and "New Member FAQ". This information will tell you more about the club's etiquette and things a hiker needs to know before starting to hike with us.

You are always welcome to hike with us as a guest; however, there is a guest fee of $2.00.

If you decide that you want to become a member, fill out the form below, print it (using your WEB browser PRINT command) and mail it to the address shown below.

Through the MCM newsletter you will learn about the club functions, MCM trail maintenance activities, and especially the Appalachian Trail. We are pleased that you are interested in our club. You do not have to pay guest fees after mailing your application.
