Thursday Night Hike 8/7 - Amherst, Western Massachusetts
This event is free to attend, with optional donations welcomed.
Thursday Night Hikes are back! Please join us this summer for some of our favorite hikes in Western Massachusetts, led by Volunteers Amy and Sam.
This week’s Thursday Night Hike, we’ll follow a babbling brook through a beautiful conservation area on a beginner-friendly hike. Expect to see cool abandoned cars, dogs everywhere, and a rainbow of mushrooms if we're lucky. 2.8 miles, 150 ft elevation change.
About Thursday Night Hikes:
Thursday Night Hikes are all about finding community and relaxing in nature with other queer folks! They are a low-stakes, low-stress way to meet new people while enjoying summer outside. We hike at the pace of the slowest person, and we don’t leave anyone behind.
Hikes range from 1.5 to 3 miles and are generally within a 30- to 40-minute radius of the Northampton/Amherst area. All hikes start at 5:30pm and may go as late as 8:00pm. Hikes generally run rain or shine, but we will cancel for heavy rain, thunderstorms, or extreme heat.
