Millions of Americans love to climb, paddle, mountain bike, ski and hike. We know our land and water first hand, and care deeply about passing our outdoor heritage to future generations. Outdoor Alliance gives these people a voice in Washington D.C.

Outdoor Alliance Story
Something special happens when people enjoy the outdoors while hiking, skiing, climbing, mountain biking and paddling. First, they have fun and the bonds between friends and family grow stronger. Young and old alike enjoy healthy exercise and learn greater self-reliance. Along the way, they learn the moods and character of the land and water. They notice - and care - when something is wrong. Time and time again, we are moved to conserve those special places.
