About us
This group is for anyone with any level of outdoor experience who wants to meet other LGBTQ+ folks while enjoying our beautiful state!
Please keep in mind that the organizers are not responsible for you and that you participate at your own risk. We do not get paid to do this, in fact we pay to put this group on, so please be respectful. We solely organize the group's meetup but you are responsible for the rest.
Due to the increase in Meetup fees (annual groups are now $300 to run), I am requesting a $2 contribution from participants who can afford it (donation is not required to participate and no one will be turned away). Funds go toward the cost of hosting the group. Cash or venmo is preferred.
The majority of our events are focused on hiking, but other outdoor/indoor activities are offered such as climbing, walking, running, bird watching, etc. We also sometimes head indoors for social events. We want to offer a variety of ways for people to meet others and make community.
The point of our hikes are NOT to get to the summit as quickly as possible. We do want to keep a steady pace, but more importantly enjoy nature and each other’s company, take photos, pet dogs that pass us on the trail, and hopefully make new friends!
Our hike locations vary but you will see a lot offered in the Golden-Boulder-Morrison-Idaho Springs areas. The majority of the hikes offered are rated as moderately challenging levels of intensity, although we schedule a few hard hikes (such as a 13er or long 8+ mile hike) during the summer and fall. Please read the event description in its entirety for details of each hike. Members are allowed to bring their dogs on hikes, as long as the dog is leashed and the particular trail allows dogs.
We are all-inclusive, no matter your orientation, as long as you are respectful of everyone. The main goal of this group is to give all its members the opportunity to have fun and socialize in nature without feeling friction caused by their identity. Anyone who is insensitive towards any group member will be asked to leave and will not be allowed on further outings. Straight allies are welcome to join us but please keep in mind that this is not just another "Denver Area Hiking" group.
