Queer Hikes: Tecolote Canyon Natural Park

Thursday, September 11 !

8 - 10 a !

San Diego Bird Alliance continues monthly with our series of Queer Hikes!

These hikes are a safe space for all LGBTQ+IA and all allies.  Join us this month for a canyon hike!

Queer Hikes will explore Tecolote Canyon for our September outing! Tecolote Canyon is one of several protected urban canyons in the San Diego area that support native plant communities and associated bird life.  Birds that are here for the entire year include hawks, Anna’s Hummingbird, California Thrasher, House Wren, Wrentit, and both California and Spotted Towhees.  You can never tell what you may see.

It will be hot! Come prepared with sunscreen and heat-appropriate attire (hats, sunglasses, light clothing) as well as plenty of cold water. Some sections of the trail are very rocky and steep. Wear good shoes. You may also want trek poles. The walk is a little over 3 miles. 

Registration required. Maximum capacity 25 attendees. While registration for the trip is free, making a donation helps more leaders to offer unique trips. Please donate!
