Group Hiking Trips in the Philadelphia Area and Beyond
If you’re looking for a Philadelphia area outdoors club that offers free group hikes, check out the Appalachian Mountain Club Delaware Valley Chapter (AMC-DV)! We offer hundreds of hiking trips every year in the Philly area and beyond. Most activities are free and open to non-members, and all are led by experienced, well-trained volunteers! Hikes range from casual, social walks in local parks to challenging mountain hikes in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and beyond. Popular destinations include Valley Forge National Historic Park, Ridley Creek and French Creek state parks, Wissahickon Valley Park, Pennypack Park, and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, just to name a few. We also offer popular day-hiking trips on the Appalachian Trail (AT). Further afield, we have hiking trips in the New Hampshire White Mountains, the New York Catskills and Adirondacks, and the Pennsylvania Wilds. We do urban hikes as well in places like Philadelphia and Wilmington, and even offer multi-day backpacking trips if that is more your thing. We look forward to seeing you on a trip soon!

Our leaders also take creative spins on the basic walk in the woods. You’ll find activities that incorporate nature observation, history lessons, fishing, photography, yoga and meditation, art, and more. We offer a variety of paces and difficulty levels, from casual walks to trail runs to hard-core hikes. As with all AMC volunteer-led outdoor activities, our hiking leaders are well trained so you can be confident that AMC hikes are safe and fun!
