FAHC Profile

FAHC was started during the summer of 1999 by a small group of dedicated walkers who wanted to enjoy spending time together in the incredible wilderness of Alaska. It quickly grew into the premier trekking organization....

FAHC was created for a number of reasons:

	find others to hike with
	create forum for people in the area to meet others with similar interests
	gain more information on accessible trails in the area
	government agencies are not catering to all of hiker's needs
	contribute to area trail maintenance
	create new trails
	share information through clinics
	learn history of trails in the area
	find descriptions of trails including level of difficulty
	create resources that will help make the most of every opportunity to hike
	use the group as a political force

So, FAHC brings together a group of people with common goals:

	Communicate and share information though a newsletter distributed every other month
	Make a comprehensive list of what each of us know regarding trail locations, descriptions, and conditions
	Create a web page to share the FAHC's information with hikers internationally
	Prioritize and follow through on trail maintenance activities
	Plan day, overnight, and extended trips of various difficulty months in advance for members to work into personal schedules
	Expand the membership's knowledge base though clinics and slide shows

Come join us! Join a hike (you'll find them on the calendar page).
