Helmets are highly recommended.

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.

As far we are concerned, excise is a dirty word. The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck. We DON'T exercise, we play! Why? Just, think about it, an hour of basketball feels like 15 minutes. An hour on a treadmill feels like a weekend in traffic school. Which one would you rather do? Clear your mind of can'ts; Join us and play!
