The 2nd Annual Alabama Pride Hike is back — bigger, bolder, and even more intentional. What started as the first Pride event ever hosted at an Alabama State Park is now becoming a movement — and 2026 is where it levels up. This year, we’re proud to partner with REI, bringing their local hike guides to lead three thoughtfully designed routes: -Beginner Route – Welcoming, social, and perfect for first-time hikers, families, and anyone wanting a relaxed, community-focused experience. 3 miles -Intermediate Route – A steady climb with rewarding views and that “I did that” feeling at the finish. 5 miles - Advanced Route – Technical, challenging, and built for those who want to earn their Pride with sweat and grit. 8 miles - ADA-Friendly Option – Because belonging isn’t optional. We are committed to creating space where everyone can participate, move their body, and be part of this day. 1.5 miles This isn’t just a hike. It’s visibility in outdoor infrastructure. It’s community in motion. It’s Pride where it hasn’t always existed before. Expect vibrant energy at the trailhead, music, local partners, photo moments, and the kind of welcoming atmosphere that makes you immediately feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Whether you’re an elite trail runner, a parent with kids, brand new to hiking, or simply showing up in support — there is a place for you here. Last year we made history. This year we build momentum. Join us for a day that celebrates movement, nature, inclusion, and the simple power of being outside together in Alabama — boldly, safely, and joyfully. Let’s fill these trails.
