Queer Hiking
Pretty much what the title says! Hiking with Queer people! That means Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transgender Folks, Intersex, Queer Curious, Allies, Genderfluid, Non-binary, Asexuals, Pansexuals I could proceed on! If you're Lgbtq+, be here!
Being queer in public can be a daunting, stressful, and/or lonely experience. With Queer Hiking you can rest assured that you'll have a quality and pleasant period with supportive people who understand you or own space to learn more about things they aren't familiar with.
