The Mountaineers is a mid-sized organization in the recreational facilities sector that centers on outdoor exploration, learning, and conservation. Based in Seattle, Washington, it traces its origins to 1906 when a group of founders formed a community that named peaks, explored waterways, and built trails. The organization offers a broad slate of courses and activities, including climbing, hiking, paddling, skiing, sailing, snowshoeing, and scrambling, with the aim of helping people access and develop outdoor skills. Its audience comprises outdoor enthusiasts seeking skill-building, guided experiences, and opportunities to engage in conservation and stewardship. A recent development involves Mountaineers Books launching an Advocacy 101 eLearning course in January 2024 to support members in outdoor advocacy.
