Wasatch Mountain Club (WMC)

The Wasatch Mountain Club was incorporated in 1920 by an informally organized group that had been hiking together for several years. The original Club charter listed the purpose as

* to promote the physical and spiritual well being of its members and others by outdoor activities;
* to unite the energy, interests and knowledge of students, explorers and lovers of the mountains, deserts and rivers of Utah;
* to collect and disseminate information regarding the Rocky Mountains in behalf of science, literature and art;
to explore and picture the scenic wonders of this and surrounding states;
* to foster awareness of scenic beauties; and
to encourage preservation of our natural areas including their plant, animal and bird life.

The Wasatch Mountain Club is a recreational outdoor club for adults. Activities are scheduled monthly and open to any member. The primary activities are hiking; backpacking; trail maintenance; rock, ice, and alpine climbing; whitewater kayaking, canoeing, and rafting; flat water canoeing, sailing; mountain and road biking; snowshoeing; Nordic skiing, social programs, and conservation pursuits.
