Pride Hikes is a monthly group hike hosted by Pride St. Charles and is lead by our very own Programs Director Lacie J!!! The 2nd Saturday of each month will be dedicated to empowering and inspiring people through connecting them with the outdoors. We want all people to feel comfortable outdoors & to be able to claim their space in nature. 

We want people of all ages, sizes, races, abilities, genders and sexual identities to be represented & celebrated in the outdoors. Creating a comfortable space for everyone to be able to embrace themselves, their community, and their individual abilities through hiking the many wonderful parks and trails in St. Charles and the surrounding areas. Creating community, building connections, and expanding the mind-body connection.

The information for each hike will be posted on the Pride Hikes event page each month on social media or sent out to those interested. Each month's Pride Hikes event page will detail the location, trail, and specific needs, or any changes (Due to weather, trail conditions, etc.). It will also serve as a way for people to communicate possible carpooling opportunities as well.

We had an amazing turn out the last two Pride Hikes! It is such a great time with everyone!

All Ages!
