The primary purpose of FAHC is the hikes, but we do a lot of other things.

Coordinating all of the activities of FAHC takes a fair bit of work that can only be accomplished through the generous efforts of our members. We keep our meetings light and fun, and they are a great way to get to know the other members.

Interested in leading a hike or adding day hikes to the calendar? Contact the webmaster.

 If there is not sufficient contact information for a hike you're interested in, please contact our Hike Coordinator, John Risser, either by email or phone at 488-6500.

NOTE! To participate in overnight backpacks, you must be a club member. Grab a membership application here and join in the fun!

For up-to-the-minute information about upcoming hikes, and to find people to join you on your own hikes, you should be a member of the FAHC Yahoo groups email list! Go to the FAHC group's home page to sign up.
