Who are we?

We are a small group of volunteers who are dedicated to maintaining access to the area’s important pathways and trails. These trails are maintained using a volunteer team, students from the surrounding school systems, and ACC work teams.

Alleghany Highlands Trails Alliance cares for and maintains over 200 miles of trailways for recreational use and is supported by the surrounding community, state & federal grants, and private donations. Please help us keep our forests and trails clean for your use.

Alleghany Highlands Trails Alliance (AHTA) is a Chapter of IMBA as of March 31st, 2022 and is in good standing as a subordinate under IMBA’s 501c3 non-profit Group Exemption number 6236.
