In 2026, the AMC embarked on a 2,000+ mile relay from Virginia to Maine. Outdoor enthusiasts passed a pennant hand to hand over the lands and waters that we enjoy and protect, honoring the last 150 years of adventure, trail building and conservation. Together, we celebrated the future we are building for people and the outdoors.

On Saturday August 1st, the OHA was part of the celebration. With our counterparts at the Harvard Cabin, we hosted tours to our own cabin in Pinkham Notch during the day. In the evening, we joined others for a hosted reception in the Joe Dodge Lodge, dinner and finally a presentation about the huts, past, present and future.
