Nature stewardship is intrinsic to my model of queerness. Being a good steward is caring for my surroundings and for the environment through direct action; it upends the “man conquers nature” narrative. My desire to raise a rainbow flag at the top of a mountain is not to show I “own” a mountain but to show that queer folks and other marginalized people who get left out of “outdoor rec” can summit a mountain, too. The mountain is queer, the forest is queer, and everything the light touches is queer, too, because nature is queer. (And your single-stall bathrooms at trailheads need to be gender-neutral @washdnr.) 🏳️‍🌈 Also, for the love, PACK IT OUT. The forest isn’t your personal compost bin for your banana peels, bro. 🌲 Special thanks to the #trailheaddirect bus for getting us to North Bend for the cost of a regular Seattle metro ride and for making hiking more accessible for city-dwellers. 🚌 . . . . #natureisqueer #unlikelyhikers #queerhikers #nonbinaryhikers #mtsi #mountsi #trailheaddirect #queernature #outdoorrec #hiking #naturestewardship #packitout #queerhiking #queerhikingcouples (at Mount Si Summit) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDsX3zgXh-/?igshid=oz8vm9lobk2r

Boy meets rock. Here’s some rocks and stuff that I’m sort of obsessed with a little. #adventures #westernma #rocks #queerhikes #fatinnature #queerinnature #outside https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9FAMVh7-W/?igshid=sibvkde46jbi

Forest walk, followed by picnic, followed by nap.

Past me thought that my winter training would be much more hardcore than it has been. I stretch, do PT exercises and go outside pretty much everyday, but the energy to push myself on long trails and steep inclines is just not here. Maybe this is my new reality, maybe this is temporary, but I sure want to keep listening to what my body is telling me. So right now I’m embracing the slowness. #hike13 #52hikechallenge2021 . . .

The vastness of the sky, the warmth on the sun on my skin, the company of a friend on a walk. Things I am grateful for this week. #hike6 #hike7 #52hikechallenge2021 . . .

#hike5 to see the snow. The exertion headache lasts 3 days but the memory of the peaceful morning lasts much longer. #52hikechallenge2021 . . .
