Join us for nights under the stars, treks in the woods and NYC events to talk about your favorite gear and the next adventure.
BLAZE>> is a group for gay men in NYC that crave being outdoors and are passionate about backpacking and backcountry camping. New to backpacking? No worries, our members range from beginner trekkers with lots of enthusiasm to seasoned adventurers with years of experience to share. We are committed to challenging ourselves by trekking to isolated places of remarkable beauty, but our trips are as much about the journey as they are about being an über athlete.
There are no fees to join BLAZE>>, but you can help cover MeetUp admin costs by shopping for BLAZE>> products at the following on-line stores:
www.zazzle.com/blazenyc
or
www.cafepress.com/BLAZENYC
PLEASE NOTE: Group sizes for backcountry events are kept small for group safety, logistics and minimizing environmental impact. Your enthusiasm for our events is greatly appreciated, so if a trip is full, please join the waiting list - anything can happen when you are on a waiting list!

11 Yes / 0 Maybe(no spots left, but a Waiting List is available)
This is a special-invitation holiday event for any BLAZE>> member that has survived an overnight event during the last year. I will email the details to all who qualify but it will be held at my place and will no doubt involve plenty of delish food and strong liquor. If we can eat and drink as well as we do on the trail - this should be a truly yummy and drinkie evening. Read more
