Out in the Woods

The South Island’s coolest queer hiking group, making monthly outings to the forest. All genders welcome, join us!
We checked out Monument Mountain and Grass Lake this weekend – it was a bit harder than our usual hikes with some steep hills, but it was a good one!
Sunny day, a fun crew of people, it was a great day. See you all next month!
