BECOME A KEY HOLDER

Members of any AMC chapter may request a copy of the key to the Noble View main gate, so that they may visit the grounds at any time. Key holders are entitled to day use of the property and buildings (so long as lodgers are not affected).

Noble View is managed by a Committee comprised of volunteers, and most of the maintenance and upkeep is also done by volunteers. Our work is supported financially by income from lodging, and from programs such as SOLO Wilderness First Aid training. Our Noble View Key Holders are an important source of financial support, and historically have contributed many volunteer hours to upkeep and maintenance at Noble View.

Please consider volunteering regularly at Noble View. There’s always work to do, and great people to work with, and fun and a sense of satisfaction to be had! In addition to committing to one or more of the volunteer workdays, your help is always welcome on Trail Work Days. For information, see the Volunteer page.

ANNUAL COSTS WITH AND WITHOUT VOLUNTEER WORK DAYS

$25.00 - Individual, with one volunteer workday per year
$50.00 - Individual, with no volunteer work
$35.00 - Family, with one volunteer workday per year
$60.00 - Family, with no volunteer work

PRIVILEGES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Annual payment of key-holder fees entitles the key holder to:
  • Unlock and pass through the gate.
  • Use the buildings, so long as lodgers or groups with reservations are not inconvenienced.
  • Enjoy a 10% discount for lodging for all members of their party.
  • Use Russell Beach Passes (by a key holder and up to two guests) on a daily basis.
Keys may not be duplicated, transferred, or loaned out. The key must be kept in your possession.

If the gate is locked when you arrive, please unlock it, pass through, and close but do not lock the gate. When you depart, please lock the gate if no lodgers are present. (The gate will be left open on workdays, and for other scheduled events.)

Please remember that lodging is permitted by reservation only, and lodging fees are payable in advance.
