āThe trip with GoNP was absolutely amazing. Where I live, I donāt have many gay guys I can go hiking with, so to meet guys from all over the country who are passionate about the outdoors was incredible. I went on the trip to build community and I did just that.ā
-Kyle from North Carolina
āI knew it would be fun. I didnāt expect a heart-forward adventure. As an āadvanced beginnerā in camping and hiking, I couldnāt have asked for a kinder, more helpful, and more caring group of queers. I had a blast and left with new friends and incredible memories.ā
-Chris from San Francisco, CA
āI think we often hear about the shared queer experience of not fitting in or feeling fully safe in non-queer spaces. But truthfully, Iāve also always felt somewhat on the periphery of queer spaces, like someone who arrived late to a party and couldntā quite break into the circle or catch up on the conversation. I spent the last week surrounded by a group of queer men and felt both welcome and at ease in way I havenāt ever experrienced before. Although Iāve been extremely out of the closet for several years now, Iām also still learning about and growing into this facet of my identity. It felt really special to do some of that learning and growing with these incredible people.ā
-Jiwan from San Diego, CA
āI joined the GoNP for a week to visit Big Bend National Park and see the total solar eclipse in April 2024, only knowing the organizer, who I randomly met abroad the previous year. I had never been to the United States and didnāt have many expectations, but it was truly a great week for me, probably the best of my life. It was a rare occasion in the queer community that wasnāt about dating or hooking up but having deep conversations with new best friends for life and enjoying the beauty of the national parks at the same time. I am so grateful to myself to have blindly said yes to this trip!ā
-Julian from Germany
