What we’re about
Hello!
My goal and hope for this group are to bring the LGBTQ+ community together with folx who want to enjoy our beautiful outdoors here in Western CT and to meet and build fun connections. This will be a safe space where folx from all walks of life, shapes and sizes, and fitness levels come together to explore the amazing trails right in our back yards. The pace of these hikes will be set by the slowest hiker (and that will probably be me) with a group that is supportive and encouraging. This group will offer opportunities for folx who want to get in better physical shape, build confidence and do so amongst an inclusive community.
I moved to CT having lived in the Boston area for over 30+ years in November 2019 and landed in Litchfield in October 2020. I have been able to explore this amazing trail-filled area a bit but need more motivation. I know if I coordinate and organize regular trips it will force me to get out there and do what I love to do. I will strive and commit to setting up regular trips. In full transparency, I have lost my previous fitness level and want to spend 2022 building and strengthening it back. So, these hikes will start out easy and move to more moderate level hikes. The hikes will be within a 3–4-hour time frame and longer over time.
If you are an advanced and fast hiker this may not be the group for you. At the same time, if you want to spend time with good company and can go at the set pace, absolutely, please join us.
