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 at our fantastical, fabulous wildlife sanctuary in Lakeside! 

Queer Hikes revisits Silverwood Wildlife Sanctuary - and we mean business this time! This property is owned and managed by San Diego Bird Alliance. We'll hike the Full Circuit, traveling through oak woodland and chapparal scrub as we circle the sanctuary in its entirety. 

The trail is mostly packed dirt, with some rocks to watch out for. The total length is just over 5 miles with about 400 ft elevation gain. Overall, it is a moderate to difficult hike.

Come prepared with plenty of cold water. Check the weather and dress appropriately, including good hiking shoes or boots.

 

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

 

Happy Birding!
