Join Unlikely Hikers founder, Jenny Bruso, and TVOP Instructor Oliver for this year’s Queer Pride Hike! As an extension of the Good Things Tour (sponsored by Merrell), this is an excellent way to parade your pride through your local trail system this June.
Come dressed up in your queer finery however you define that for yourself (rhinestones, glitter, leather, flannel, drag, none/all of the above—you do you!) and hike with us!
We’ll provide some post-hike refreshments and all of our participants will receive swag and have the chance to win great prizes from UH & Merrell! Come share in the Good Things with us!
This adventure is open to folks of all ages - we ask folks under the age of 18 to please register yourself and an adult to accompany you.

Our sliding scale is meant to make our trips and events more accessible for those who have financial barriers. Paying a higher amount allows us to provide more opportunities to others. Paying a smaller amount is recommended for those who would not otherwise be able to afford the estimated value. Please choose an amount that you will be able to pay, but will not hinder your ability to afford food, housing, etc. By paying as much as you can, we are able to serve more of our community members.
Our sliding scale recommendation:
- Low: Yearly income $30,000 or under, struggles to meet basic needs
- Mid (pays estimated value): Yearly income $40,000-$75,000, some expendable income
- High: Yearly income $80,000-$100,000, comfortable, never struggle with basic needs

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
