LIVE FOR TODAY.

LGBT+ Outdoors' Adventure Trips provide unique opportunities for LGBTQ+ individuals to connect with nature, explore breathtaking landscapes, and build a supportive outdoor community. These guided trips, hosted in stunning national parks and wilderness areas, are designed to fostering a sense of adventure and camaraderie in a safe and inclusive group setting. Participants enjoy a variety of activities such as hiking, camping, packrafting, horseback riding and wildlife observation, while forming bonds that last well beyond the journey. The highly anticipated 2025 Adventure Trips lineup will be officially announced on December.

Trip Booking Will Open December 20th.

You do not have to do each activity we have planned, but we do encourage it.
