About this event

Join other members of our queer community in a night hike in the spirit of Halloween, but queer!! We'll go for a sunset and night hike at a preserve with stars, bats, and all sorts of critters!

Participants can expect to walk up to three miles, in dark conditions. A specific plan for our route can be found here.

Branching Out Adventures encourages people from all identities and backgrounds to participate in our programs. Many of our programs are outdoors and involve moving in a variety of landscapes. If you have accessibility concerns (e.g. allergies, limited mobility, learning differences), our projects are flexible and we are happy to work with you.
