Those That Have Tried Trailhead Say:
"I recently renewed for my second year of membership, and a
few of my friends have also joined The Mountaineers after trying Trailhead activities. The Trailhead activities in which I've
taken part in, have allowed me to get a taste for what The Mountaineers is all about, without the commitment
of time and money that many of the comprehensive courses
require — but have definitely engaged my interest in the
courses like scrambling and alpine climbing, which I'll likely take in the future. I honestly think the Trailhead program is one of the best things going for The Mountaineers and I hope it continues to grow in the coming years."

"I believe that the Trailhead program is an ideal way for new members to get involved in the club. The variety and availability of the classes and activities gives folks a chance to try something at an introductory level before committing to an entire course. The pace allows new members to relax and make new friends."

"This has been the best year! I’ve learned a lot, become more confident, met awesome friends and had experiences I never thought I would. I can’t wait for the next course. Thanks for getting me started on this journey and teaching me so much."
