We’re so happy to be back with our second ever Pride month Hang & Hike! Last year was a bit of an experiment, and we were glad that folks came out to hang, and to hike!

We’ll be kicking off at 12pm with grilling and potluck, with some lawn games + arts & crafts available. We’ll also be hosting an all-day clothes swap, feel free to bring any unwanted undamaged clothes or small items, take what you’d like from others, and anything not taken will be donated!

At 2pm we’ll have an optional nature ID skill-share, where we take some time to look around and try our hand at some group identification. We’ll have nature guides available!

3pm is hike time (also optional), where we’ll take a roughly 3mi trek through some surrounding trails before returning to the shelter.

We’ll be wrapping up the festivities and starting cleanup by 6pm 👍

Even more details on the day’s plan provided after RSVPing at cnyhiking.lgbt/rsvp. Hope to see you there!

📅 Date: Sunday, June 20th 2026 from 12-6pm

📍 Hike Location: Torbert Shelter, Highland Forest, 1254 Highland Park Rd, Fabius, NY 13063 (Google Maps Directions)

When you enter the park and reach a fork in the road, keep right, park at the parking lot.

Carpooling:

If you need help getting to the trail or want to offer a ride, feel free to message us at contact@cnyhiking.lgbt or DM us on Instagram @cnyhiking and we’ll do our best to connect folks.

Accessibility & Notes:

The Torbert Shelter is close to the parking lot and accessible. The group hike is moderate difficulty: dirt path, some incline, tree roots. Skipping the hike and staying at the shelter is completely fine! Bathrooms are a 300-meter walk from the shelter.

Feel free to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Hope to hike with you soon! 💚

Our Last Event - Pride Parade @ CNY Pride!

CNY Pride!!! Thank you so so much to everyone who came out to march in the pride parade with us for the first time! It was such a beautiful day full of amazing people 💚 Always amazing to see the queer community of CNY gather together for pride, it's easy to forget how many of us there are until we overflow the Inner Harbor 🌊

Despite the fun... we were missing our favorite hiker, Ryan (@ryskid.art), the one who started the CNY Hiking group himself almost three years ago. He couldn't make it to the parade, so we brought some little Ryan cutouts to march with us. Good luck with your internship this summer!! 🫶
