Gay Hikers

Gay Hikers ("GH") is an Interest-based Social Network App for LGBTQ Hikers, their Families and their Friends to Connect, Share, Learn & Hike.

Hiking is one of the top sports and preferred forms of outdoor exercise in the LGBTQ community.

The app was put together by volunteers from the NYC Gay Men's Hiking Group and Montreal-Laurentides Gay Hiking Group ("Gikers").
