What we’re about
We love the Great Outdoors and explore it through many different hikes, backpacking tours and skiing events.
Join us on the trails in the mountains, the forests and the woods. Breathe deeply of the fresh air and feel nature's healing powers. With easy banter, camaraderie, some socializing over food and drink, all in our world will be ok.
We value fellowship and camaraderie, practice good hiking etiquette by taking breaks as necessary, and have one guide in front with a "sweeper" in the back in order to leave no hiker alone. We are very supportive of each other, focus on trail safety and practice Leave No Trace ethics.
Prospective members must confirm they have read the BMHC Etiquette before being accepted into the club.
Blue Mountain Hiking Club Organizers are not professional guides. Expect the same risks and take the same precautions you would take if you were hiking alone. With your RSVP you agree with the following.

See all- Corbin Cabin Double Back---Take Your ChoiceNeeds location
Steamy July and August are upon us. Hiking can be difficult in such conditions. This hike offers both a short and a long version. The short route is simply three miles in and doubling back to the trailhead. The longer version is as posted. Additionally, the hike crosses the Thornton/Hughes River several times. Typically, these are "skip across" events. However, packing water shoes is suggested.
Jim Necci will lead this hike as I continue my sciatic recovery. Thanks Jim.
