Go backpacking with like-minded individuals, find great places, and shoot them (the places, that is.) I hunt the remarkable unseen landscape, the rarely or never-before-photographed, and I love a challenge. I love backpacking in the wilderness, the mountains, or in the desert with two purposes: to enjoy my time in nature and, to bring back her magical moments in a box for others to enjoy. If you prefer to hike solo but want to hike with a compatible hiking companion, this group may be for you. T …

We're a friendly group of people who enjoy the outdoors and who like to have a good time. Most of our trips are two or three day backpacking trips within a few hours of DC. Our hikes vary in difficulty from easy to strenuous. We can't help but smile when we see how awesome it is out there. Join us - you won't regret it!

… If you've never backpacked before but would like to try it, I hold a beginner's backpacking class at least once a year. You'll learn about gear, hygiene, Leave No Trace, trail foods and more.

… Some of our past or future events include: Hiking, Backpacking, Camping, Skiing, Whitewater Rafting, and Happy Hours. We want you to join if you have a good sense of humor, want to be active in the group, and make great friends.  

… There may be overnight backpacking trips in the future and "gear classes" for those that have never backpacked or have not do so in many years. We take it slow - it's never a race - and will use "sweeps" to be sure everyone gets back to the trailhead at the end of the hike.  Ages range from 20's to 70's.  No one is ever too old or too inexperienced to join us!  See you on the trail!

I'm setting this up initially for those of us who are experienced hikers and looking to do longer hikes with other like-minded LGBT folks. There are some great regular hiking groups, but none for gays and lesbians to do 10+ mile hikes and backpacking trips in a social setting. I'd love other people to lead hikes. Here are some great resources to find local hikes. http://midatlantichikes.com/ http://www.hikingupward.com www.Localhikes.com Trails.com (I have a password, ask me) Check other meetup. …

Adventuring is the outdoor club for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered community in the Washington DC area. Our volunteers lead hikes year-round, and in the warmer months we do recreational bike rides too, some shorter and others longer. That's not everything though. Camping, backpacking, and canoeing are examples of some of the other things we do when we have volunteers to lead them. We're all about enjoying the outdoors and being physically active. Not sure whether an activity will …

YOU have always had a yen for the stunning peak-studded scenery, and get a kick out of endurance events. You are eager to put on crampons and use your ice axe to get to the most awe-inspiring places. Your dreams are made of the white fluffy stuff that your skis float in, and you want to earn your turns. You crave the adrenalin, thin air, and the giddy high of standing on a hard-earned summit. You are not new to this -- maybe you grew up running around the hills, or ski-bummed after college. You …
