Stop
to admire a patch of alpine wildflowers
-- wine red, snowy white, lemon yellow, robin's-egg blue, deep
violet -- nestled in the grass.
Feel
the mist of a mountain waterfall brush over your face, as
you cross an ancient wooden footbridge far above civilization.
On
an evening stroll, look overhead to see the stars of the Milky
Way, sprinkled like fairy dust across the sky.
A
hiking vacation with a small, compatible group brings the
best of all worlds: Activity and relaxation, great food and no
need to worry about the calories, beautiful new scenery and new
friends with whom to enjoy it.
What's
it take?
No
special skills or training are needed to enjoy a week of
hiking. A good pair of hiking boots, already broken in,
are a big help on all-day hikes, but comfortable sneakers
are adequate for short excursions.
Alyson
Adventures, sponsor of this site, has selected several
locations that each offer a superb, and varied, selection
of day hikes. Most important, we bring together a small,
friendly gay group with whom to enjoy your vacation. If
the past is any indication, you'll remain friends with many
of them long after the trip ends.
