About Us
The INTERMOUNTAIN ALPINE CLUB (IMAC) was organized
in October 1948 to bring together those of us who find particular
pleasure in shaking the dust of civilization from our boots and
hitting the high country trails whenever the opportunity arises.
Our primary purpose is to encourage the enjoyment of the outdoors
and to promote hiking, mountain climbing, and other activities.
We also hope to provide the stimulus and opportunity for the
beginner to enjoy the unique satisfaction that comes from attaining
the heights under their own power and to gain a deeper
appreciation of Mother Nature as a result of knowing her first
hand.
Each of us benefits from this association. The benefits are not only
from pooling our knowledge of local geography, campcraft, and
trail and climbing techniques, but especially from the fellowship
that grows among those who have known the hardships and
triumphs. By regularly scheduling hikes and climbs, we tend to
overcome the natural inclination of not getting around to doing the
things that we really enjoy.
We welcome guests on all club trips. Anyone wishing to take part
only needs to register with the trip leader or with the chairman of
the committee scheduling the event, but register in time!
The YODELER, the club bulletin, lists coming hikes, climbs, and
events, and reports on past activities. The YODELER keeps
members up-to-date on all club doings and is mailed monthly.
The club has an active social committee. The committee arranges
picnics, slide shows, potluck dinners, and the annual New Year's
Day hike up Badger Mountain with a chili feed afterwards. The
YODELER announces all social events.
