The Rambler

The Wasatch Mountain Club publishes a monthly magazine called The Rambler. The publication contains among other things

• a directory of upcoming activities with brief descriptions,
• articles by club's directors, coordinators and members,
• trip reports,
• pictures
• notices and advertisements.

Most of the information in The Rambler can also be found in the pages of the WMC website. In particular, the upcoming activities can be found on the Calendar web page.

Below are links to full color online copies of the current and past Ramblers.

It is hoped that in the future, paper publication of The Rambler will be discontinued.

Today, however, members can save some trees and five bucks by choosing not to receive a paper copy of The Rambler. To stop receiving a paper copy, uncheck the box in the upper left on the Pay Membership Fee web page just to the left of "receive The Rambler". Delivery of the paper copy should stop within a month. The five buck discount will be realized when you renew your club membership subscription.
