Born from the hand-scribbled trail maps and wilderness passion of its members, Washington's more than 100-year-old Mountaineers Club established the nonprofit Mountaineers Books® in 1960 to express and share its love of nature and the outdoors.

Today, with more than 500 titles in print, Mountaineers Books, along with its Skipstone and Braided River imprints, provide outdoor recreation, sustainable lifestyle, and conservation advocacy books, including many award winners. Whether you're into outdoor activities, living a healthy lifestyle, or concerned about being a good steward of the environment, Mountaineers Books has the information you need to guide you on your next journey in confidence and safety.
