PATC members volunteer for and maintain specific sections of trails as overseers.

Trail sections average 3.0 miles in length, although some are considerably shorter while others are significantly longer.

Our trail heroes clear brush, paint trail blazes, maintain drainage devices, and remove fallen trees.

These articles tell the story of who we are, what we do, how we do what we do, and why we do these things for you, the hiking public.

You will also find articles about our storied past - a past that lives today in the work and skill of our current members.
