Queer Day Hike - Virginia
November 30, 2025 — 10:00 am - 1:00 pm ET
Last day to register: November 28, 2025
Join The Venture Out Project for a morning hike in Virginia (~1hr outside of DC)!
This season we’re channeling all the anti-colonial, pro queer vibes, and getting outside with community as much as we can! This 5-mile roundtrip, out-and-back hike has gorgeous forest scenery and a stellar view at the turnaround point (a rewarding view for the up and down journey as we climb ~1,500ft total). We hope you can join us!
We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated at this event.

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.
