What we’re about

Welcome to Montclair Backpacking Club!

Join us for hiking, backpacking and overnight kayaking trips in the NY/NJ/PA area. All experience levels are welcome. (Please also join us at Campers' Group: https://www.meetup.com/campersgroup)

This is one of the easiest ways to make new friends while taking in the trails in the North East.

Are you a trail blazer with hundreds/thousands of miles under your feet? Join us as we thru-hike some of the longer trails we have in the surrounding area.

Never hiked before? Come and join us on one of our day hikes and get a feel for the trail with like minded and safety conscious group organizers.

Past bucket list trips have included Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim, Smoky Mountains and the White Mountains Presidential Traverse.
