Nantahala Hiking Club is a nonprofit organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes, including maintenance on the Appalachian Trail corridor from the GA/NC state line to Nantahala Outdoor Center in Wesser, NC.

Our Board of Directors meets monthly (except for January and February) and is responsible for setting the club’s direction. All club members are encouraged to consider volunteering for board service, which will deepen your understanding and appreciation for our work.

If you’d like to learn more about how you can join the Board of Directors, please email President Tim Lindler or click the link below.

“NHC has always been so welcoming. I have learned, and continue to learn, so much about hiking our trails. I have made many great friends in the relatively short time I have been a member. I volunteer because it’s a way to give back and to help others. And it’s a great way to be more involved and stay aware of what is going on with the club, the ATC, and the community.” — Sandi
