Our Mission
The aspiration of the Allentown Hiking Club is to escape the crowded city;
to walk, hike and climb for the enjoyment and exercise with nature loving companions;
to maintain its section of the Appalachian Trail; and to stimulate public interests
in every phase of nature and the outdoors through programs and lectures. |
