The AMGA inspires and supports a culture of American mountain craft by providing world-class and internationally recognized education, training, and certification to aspiring and professional guides.

With the support of our partners, we are able to provide scholarships, affinity programs, and focus on many other AMGA initiatives. These partnerships also put us in a strong position to advocate for access for the guided public with land managers, legislators, and other industry partners.

We’ve created Mountain Beacon to highlight and celebrate our amazing partners.

Thanks to additional supporters: AeroPress, Black Crows, First Ascent Coffee, Gnarly Nutrition, La Sportiva, Metolius, Outdoorly, Pomoca, Rab, Scarpa, Suunto, and Wild Country.
