General Program and Trip DescriptionsAll trips meet at Watauga High School in the Mountain Alliance room. After school trips meet @ 3:30 so

students will have time to stop by their locker on the way. The majority of Mountain Alliance trips are suitable for beginners, so everyone is welcome! Students that have filled out and turned in a membership application are

welcome to sign up for any outing offered. Specific trip details will be given at membership meetings. Call Mountain Alliance at 263-1770 or check out our website www.mountainalliance.org for more information.

Bigger School… Bigger AdventuresThis fall, Mountain Alliance has a full and exciting calendar! It is important to attend the all member bi monthly

Membership Meetings to save your spot on these exciting spring adventures. If you miss a meeting, stop by the MA room to find out what you missed! Check out some sneak peeks into your future adventures…

Pisgah Overnights: Mountain Alliance is partnering up with ASU to offer two different overnight trips in the Pisgah Forest! Satisfy your taste for adventure on this trip filled with both backpacking and rock climbing.

Freshman, this trip is specifically designed for you! Meet new people and learn new things. Beginners welcome! If you’re free on Thursdays and want to learn the basics of climbing before the overnight, join

Mountain Alliance for any or all of the Footsloggers Climbing Trips!

Biking Extravaganzas: That’s right; Mountain Alliance is offering some biking trips again this fall! Both in town and in the mountains, we’ll be learning new skills and having a great time on two wheels. No need to

have your own bike, we’ve got great ones for you to use. If biking sounds like something you’d like to get into, join us for any of our biking outings this fall! Get ready to ride!

Hospitality House: Community service is a big part of Mountain Alliance. We’re offering several trips where you can give back to the community! The second Monday of every month, Mountain Alliance will be cooking dinner for the folks at the Hospitality House. Come ready to cook up a storm and have a great time

doing it!

Geocaching: “What’s geocaching?” you might ask… well join us and find out! You’ll be using a handheld GPS to navigate through a high-tech treasure hunting game. Sign- up on your own or with friends and be

prepared for a day of fun and exploration in the outdoors.
