7 Not-to-Miss Gay Hikes for the LGBTQ+ Adventure Seeker in /

There are two kinds of vacations that attract two kinds of people. First, there’s the “lay on the beach and tan while sipping a cocktail” vacationer. Then there’s the active “grab a backpack and scale a mountain” type of traveler—of course, you could always be versatile, though! Relaxing vacations are pleasant, but the great thing about an active adventure is that it’s wonderful for the mind, body, and soul.

Aside from the obvious benefits of training, the ascent up a mountain is a rewarding experience. Getting drunk on the beach is joy, but it really can’t compare to testing the limits of your body and the camaraderie of hiking with a collective up a difficult way. There are many team tours you can participate to do various hikes around the world, and for the LGBTQ+ traveler, there are some excellent group tours and queer treks. Here are five incredible options for same-sex attracted adventure seekers.

   Gay Men's Hiking Group

   This is our first time hiking in the Adirondacks and I'm really excited to introduce the group to this area. It's some of the best hiking in the Northeast; with pine forests, clear running streams and rocky mountains. I reserved a cabin in the heart of the High Peaks. It's a mile walk from the trailhead, but it's a popular area with other lodges nearby, so we won't be totally isolated. The hiking will be more challenging than anything we've done before. If you are a regular with this collective you should be ok, as long as you aren't somebody who usually hikes at the advocate of the line up. It's going to be incredible!

   THE CABIN
   We're staying at Camp Peggy O'Brien, near the Adirondack Mountain Club's John's Brook Lodge. It sleeps 12, has heat and a propane stove. Bunks and mattresses are provided, but you need to bring your own sleeping bag. Moisture is from a pump outside. The bathroom is an outhouse. I place some pics in the photo section on Meetup. Here's the link, you have to scroll down for Camp Peggy O'Brien.

   SCHEDULE
   I booked the cabin from Wednesday to Sunday morning, but if you want to appear Thursday or Friday that's ok.
