Trip activities require registration and contact information is provided for the leader in the activity listing. Registration allows the leader to know how many people are coming, sometimes trips have a size limit, and allows
the leader to discuss any special attributes of the activity that may be beyond the general hike rating system. The trip leader will tell you when and where to meet for the activity.
To participate in Club and Chapter activities, individuals under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult, and obtain prior consent from the trip leader.

AMC's Hike Rating system is a way of describing the activity in three categories, distance, pace, and terrain. The title of each activity contains a three part code,
X-Y-Z, for this information. The code values are as follows:
Hike Ratings
Distance
AA = +13 miles
A = 9 to 13 miles
B = 5 to 8 miles
C = under 5 miles
Leader's Pace
1 = very fast pace, 2.5 mph or faster
2 = fast pace, 2 to 2.5 mph
3 = moderate pace, 1.5 to 2 mph
Terrain
A = very strenuous
B = strenuous
C = average

Here is a suggestion of a fair way to figure how much to give your driver to reimburse them for gas:
Take the total number of miles driven by each car with riders aboard.
Multiply by the number of vehicles.
Divide by the approximate average of the miles per gallon your cars get.
Multiply by the approximate going rate for gas in the area.
Divide by the total number of participant, including drivers.
This is the amount each rider pays to their driver.
An example…For a 100 mile trip from meeting place, and back to the meeting place, with 3 cars, and 12 people:
100 miles X 3 cars = 300 miles. 300 miles divided by 20 miles per gallon= 15 gallons used.
15 gallons X $3.00 cost per gallon of gas= $45.00 total spent for gas.
$45.00 divided by 12 people= $3.75 that each person gives their driver.

Anyone participating in an AMC activity must sign a Volunteer Release Agreement prior to the start of the activity indicating that they understand the risks involved with the activity and accept full responsibility for them. Neither the trip leaders nor AMC can accept responsibility.
