About Blue Mountain Jeep Alliance

Who We Are

We're an organization established to bring people together who share a common interest: the legendary Jeep vehicle.

We celebrate the camaraderie brought on by owning one of these capable vehicles by sharing adventures and knowledge with each other. Each person's Jeep eventually mirrors the personality of its owner, as if it were an extension of oneself. We band together to drive these machines, pitting ourselves against them and nature alike.

Every obstacle overcome becomes a small triumph providing a rewarding rush of adrenaline made possible by teamwork, critical thinking, and vehicle mastery — bringing people together amidst the mountains, the lakes, and the forests.

Where Do We Meet?

We meet at the Hamburg Field House in Hamburg, PA; 7:00 pm on the 1st Thursday of every month. Stay an hour or so to cover event news, show videos, mingle, discuss recent adventures and show off our trail rigs. Nonmembers are welcome.

• Enter Hamburg from Route 61, just south of I-22/I-78. Take 4th Street into town.
• After 0.8 mi, at the first traffic light downtown, turn right onto Pine Street.
• Go about 0.1 mile and pass a cemetery. Immediately after that, turn right into the parking lot.

Events

Our club's events are those such as large-scale trail rides such as Jamborees or Challenges, small-scale local trail rides with usually between 3 and 50 Jeep vehicles, camping, vehicle shows, learning sessions, charity events, and to aid the general public as needed. Blue Mountain Jeep Alliance is especially an excellent way to meet many cool people who share your interest! Come ride with us. We welcome new Jeep owners and hard-core alike!   Check Our Upcoming Events Calendar

Member Benefits

• Club newsletter

• Discounts from our club sponsors (listed at bottom of home page)
• We often visit Rausch Creek Off Road Park. These pay-to-play options are a good thing since it is increasingly difficult to find a public-access area in the eastern United States that allows 4-wheel drive vehicles without the threat of illegal trespassing.
