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.

Registration Type: Application
Please Click Here to RSVP: https://activities.outdoors.org/a5UVX000001H7R7
Audience: 20’s & 30’sDescription: Join the Chatham Trails Association (CTA) for their Fall Trail Work Weekend in the Evans Notch region of the White Mountains from October 9-12! Our 20s & 30s group will join other CTA volunteers for the weekend.
Trail work will consist mainly of Level 1 maintenance: clearing water bars and drainages, clearing blowdowns, and brushing the trail corridor as needed. CTA will provide tools, personal protective equipment, and instruction - no prior trail work experience is necessary. Some hiking will be needed to get to the trail work sites, ranging up to a few miles each way on moderate terrain. As this is a holiday weekend, the event is scheduled to run through Monday.
Lodging for the weekend will be in rustic cabins at AMC Cold River Camp in Chatham NH. Cabins will be shared with 2-4 people. Weather will be chilly in mid-October - cabins are unheated but each has a fireplace or woodstove. The Camp has centralized hot showers and toilet facilities. All meals (breakfast, trail lunch, and dinner) are provided.
In return for your volunteer trail work, the trip is FREE - all costs are paid for by CTA.
See websites for Chatham Trails Association ( https://www.chathamtrails.org/ ) and AMC Cold River Camp ( https://www.coldrivercamp.org/ ) for more information.
Additional logistical information (e.g., carpool signup, packing list) will be provided to confirmed participants.Reminder: Please click the RSVP link above to register!

20s and 30s Jackson and Pierce
Location not specified yetActivity Type: Hiking, Local Walks, & Trail Running | Hiking
Difficulty: 5 - Vigorous
Trip Leader(s): Ian Baker, Meredith Kraner, Maisie Ettinger
Registration Type: Application
Please Click Here to RSVP: https://activities.outdoors.org/a5UVX0000018STB
Register By: 10/11/2026
Audience: 20’s & 30’sDescription: Join us for a mid fall hike to Mt Jackson and Mt Pierce. Weather-dependent, we’ll be presented with wonderful fall views from the open summits of Mts. Jackson and Pierce. Both summits offer wonderful views up the Southern Presidentials towards Mt. Washington, with Jackson’s view crossing over the Dry River Wilderness and Pierce’s going straight up the ridge of the Presidentials with Mt. Eisenhower in the foreground.
This will be an approximately 8-mile trip with 2,900 feet of elevation gain at a moderate pace. There are two short sections of scrambling required on the summit cone of Mt. Jackson. Be prepared to use your hands to navigate these sections safely.
Participants must have experience this summer hiking comparable mountains in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, or New York, or equivalent experience elsewhere, plus a regular cardio fitness regimen. After registering for the hike, one of the leaders will contact you to schedule a short (~15 minutes) phone call to discuss your recent hiking experience, fitness regimen/level, and gear to ensure the hike is a good fit prior to approving your registration.
Full 3-season hiking gear will be required including appropriate hiking footwear, waterproof/windproof jacket, and warm layers. Keep in mind that mid-October tends to feature cooler temperatures as we ascend!
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 18 as a backup date for this hike if weather conditions on Saturday the 17th prevent us from hiking.Reminder: Please click the RSVP link above to register!
