Pride Hike

Follow our trails along cow pastures, through the sugarbush, and up hills with views of Lake Champlain and the Champlain Valley.

Pride Hikes, a collaboration between Audubon Vermont and the Pride Center of Vermont, have been happening every month since June of 2018 and go beyond being “welcoming to everyone” to creating a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA2S+ community members.  All ages, allies, and families welcome! Youth under 18 years should be accompanied by a parent/guardian. No visiting dogs permitted except trained service dogs.

Trail/accessibility information: Our walk will be at an easy pace and will cover about 3–4 miles. We are very flexible, and the trails we choose are based upon the needs of the group. Some trails are flat, wide, and on a base of crushed gravel, grass or wood chips. Other trails have some steep and uneven sections. Elevation gain is minimal. There are benches and sit spots available along the trail system. In November, the trail conditions are based on the weather and can be covered in fallen leaves or snow. See a walking trail map and additional details.

As the event date nears, Audubon will contact participants about appropriate footwear and other suggested gear. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring snacks and plenty of water! 

Indoor, gender inclusive restrooms are available at the Farm Barn near the Children’s Farmyard (our meet-up spot). Portolets are available at the Farm Store parking lot.
