Here's what some of our 30,000+ readers have told us about the Dispatch

  • "Just wanted to pass along my kudos regarding the ACC’s newsletter. I’m really appreciative of the updates and am finding the content – particularly the Canadian content – useful, entertaining and sometimes straight out inspiring. So thanks to all of you who are working to put this together. Yup, I realize I’ve already thanked you, but wanted to do so again."
  • “In a recent newsletter, you linked to an article about backcountry experiences with kids that mentioned the Hostelling International wilderness hostels. As a result of reading this, my husband, eight-year-old daughter and I booked ourselves in to the HI Mosquito Creek hostel for the July long weekend, and really had a wonderful time. We did a couple of long (well, long by eight-year-old standards) hikes that went surprisingly well, and my daughter announced that she wants to be a mountain climber when she grows up! Thanks for the tip!”
  • “I LOVE the ACC newsletter!! Love love love it. You guys are doing a great job with it. I get news here that I can’t get anywhere else. Keep on keeping on…”
  • "I can tell you that it definitely gets read. I’ve already gotten a couple of hundred more visits this afternoon than I usually do. Cheers!"
  • "I don’t have a story, rather I would like to pay a compliment to the person(s) producing the newsletter– you’re doing a very good job! I have followed up and used many of the website references. They are interesting, relevant and useful. Kudos to you"
