We are the Island Mountain Ramblers. We are a hiking and mountaineering club of amateur enthusiasts who develop our community by sharing our passion for the outdoors. Our adventures get people out of their comfort zones and help people discover new places.
Join us and develop your skills while participating in various in-person and online activities. We offer dozens of group trips yearly, including easy hikes and challenging climbs, backcountry ski trips and snowshoeing rambles, sport-climbing at local crags, and education opportunities.
Join us through our website: http://islandmountainramblers.com/
