    Hollywood Sign

    Perfect Weather Hike

    Two hiking groups are joining for a great day where everyone is welcome, queer folx and allies building community togetherness. 

    Note: The meeting location for the Saturday Morning Hike changes every other month to the Hollywood sign.

    This hike to the Hollywood Sign offers stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Griffith Observatory, Lake Hollywood, and downtown Los Angeles. The route follows wide dirt trails with a dip into a residential neighborhood. There are two key photo opportunities: one from below the sign and another from an overlook that leads to the very back of the iconic letters. Because the trail is popular and can be busy with various groups, the group will gather at every trail split to ensure everyone is accounted for.

    The Innsdale trailhead is located in a residential area where Canyon Lake Drive and Innsdale Drive meet, parking is limited to local streets. To ensure a smooth start, participants should check their maps beforehand to avoid getting lost and look for our large group, usually gathered near the fruit vendor carts at the trailhead.


    Location: Innsdale Trailhead, 6100 Innsdale Dr, Los Angeles, 90068

    Google Maps: Directions

    Time: 9:00 to 11:00 AM

    Contact: Gary Cleff, (323) 314-7143 or via email

    Difficulty: Moderate

    Distance: 4 miles, mostly fire roads. 

    Elevation: 700ft

    Dogs: Dog friendly,  be aware that there are coyotes in the park.

    Bring: Plenty of water, sun protection, hiking shoes with good grip, carry emergency contact information.

    Note: Every other month the hike is to the Hollywood sign so the meeting location changes.

    Additional details click here: Perfect Weather Hike, Meetup

    Restrooms: This is a residential neighborhood. There are NO restrooms on this hike. The nearest is at the Griffith Park, Southern Railway by the Griffith Park Cafe on Crystal Springs Drive. If you arrive early, It’s a 15 minute roundtrip walk to the restroom.

    Cancellation: Hike will be cancelled in the event of rain and soggy trails or severe heat advisories.

    Health Issues/allergies: It is the responsibility of participants to carry on their person a record of significant allergies, medications and medical history in the event of a medical emergency. Discuss any medical concerns with the hike leader if you wish.

    Shoreline Frontrunners invites the OCLB Chapter of the Great Outdoors to

    Valentine's Day 5k Walk/Run

    Saturday February 14, 2026 @ 9:00 AM

    Starting point:

    Bluff Park at Ocean and Redondo Ave. in Long Beach

    When Henry met Alex, or Shane met Ilya? Come join us at a cross-club meet-and-greet this Valentine’s Day! The Long Beach Shoreline Frontrunners (SFRLB) invite the Great Outdoors OC/LB and all other chapters for a morning of fun and connection. We hope this event provides an opportunity for each club to check the other out while making new friends. We are thrilled to bring these two groups together; with their ultra-fun and activity-loving members, both clubs offer a complementary schedule of events and adventures.

    The 5k walk/run is suitable for all fitness levels!  You can run, run/walk or just walk!


    After the 5k, many of us go to brunch at a local eatery.  Just let us know after the run so we can get a head count and notify the restaurant(s).  NOTE: We expect a large turnout so it may take several restaurants to accommodate us.

    About the Shoreline Frontrunners

    Founded in 1984, the SFRLB is an LGBTQ+ oriented running and walking club rooted in community building and advocacy. As a chapter of a global community, they participate in marathons and athletic events worldwide and host the annual Long Beach Pride Run in May.

    Rain Cancels


    Description: This is one of the treasures of the Santa Monica Mountains. Stunt High Trail begins with a pleasant shaded walk next to Cold Creek. Along the way we will pass through five distinct plant communities: riparian, oak woodland, coastal sage, chaparral, and grassland.

    There is a terrific payoff at the end of a steady climb in the way of panoramic views and dramatic sandstone formations at the top of Saddle Peak. This is the sixth tallest summit in the Santa Monica Mountain range at 2805 feet. The views go from downtown LA to Santa Barbara Island to the snowcapped peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains and the entire Santa Monica Bay. Near the end of our route is an interesting passage under sandstone cliffs. Rock climbers are often seen precariously above the trail. At the top, we will be halfway between Calabasas and Malibu.


    The hike is a bit of a challenge, but we’ll take our time to enjoy the views, plants, and geology. 


    Much of the trail has a canopy of trees and shrubs.

    • Mon, February 16, 2026

    • Joshua Tree National Park
    Register

    Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was one of the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 


    Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold.  After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.”  After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing.  Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon.  In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine.  He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch.  After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

    Bolsa Chica State Beach North Entrance

    Huntington Beach 


    Grab and grease your ball bearings and join us for an easy bicycle tour down the coast! We will start at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and cruise along the scenic bike path through the Bolsa Chica camping area, passing Huntington Dog Beach and the Huntington Beach Pier, to the statue of the Naked Surfer (amazingly explicit), also known as the "Nude Dude" for a quick break and pics.

    We'll continue our ride down to the Newport Beach Pier, ending our journey at the iconic Mutt Lynch's for lunch and beverages.


    Established in 1976, Mutt Lynch's is a beloved local beachfront "dive bar" known for its laid-back open-air atmosphere and extensive menu of over 200 items, including American and Mexican favorites like their famous "fun buns," fish and chips, and the "Mutt Burrito". It is particularly famous for its signature 32oz schooners of draft beer and its unbeatable ocean and pier views from the boardwalk. Guess what-vegan and gluten-free is available!

    No bike?  Or, "well, you got caught with a flat, well, how 'bout that."  Check out bike rental options at Bolsa Chica State Beach, specifically at Beach City Provisions, which is conveniently located right on the beach path and the state park lot near our meeting area. Reservations recommended.  $35 for the day. 

    Too far? OCTA line 1 will take you back up PCH back to the parking areas  The fare is $2 per person, which can be cash on the bus  or added on their "Wave"  app. Schedules here OCTA Line 1-PCH. Each bus features secure bike racks on the front. 


    Distance: Approximately 22 leisurely miles round-trip. Helmets are required. Please include eyewear, sunscreen, and adequate amounts of water or other hydration.

      Description: Dramatic views into Malibu Canyon, over a thousand feet steeply below, make this a fabulous hike, but wait till we get to the top! From Mesa Peak the entire curve of the Santa Monica Bay can be seen as well as Catalina Island, and many mountain peaks in the distance. This trail is one of my favorites in the Santa Monica Mountains. It's a heavily shaded walk. Wild flowers should be popping.


      The hike is a bit of a challenge, but we’ll definitely take our time to enjoy the views.


      Much of the trail has a canopy of trees and shrubs. It is a great hike.


      Wildflowers are blooming early this year. Pictured is a ceanothus at the trailhead.

    • PS - Private Tour: LGBTQ+ Gallery at Palm Springs Art Museum

      The Palm Springs Art Museum recently opened a LGBTQ+ themed  permanent gallery — the only one of its kind in the nation. This dedicated space was created to explore themes that emerge when you see works by multiple queer artists together. It becomes much easier to understand the range and complexity of a queer perspective in art when you can look at a collection rather than individual pieces. Due to other major exhibitions and regularly scheduled highlights tours, the museum is not currently offering public group tours of this gallery. Instead, access is available only through private group tours.

      Join us for a rare, private docent-led tour of this gallery at a very special price. The usual $500 private docent tour fee has been waived, and museum admission for non-members has been reduced from the regular $25 charge. (Admission is free for museum members.) After the tour, participants are welcome to explore the rest of the museum including LIVS, the restaurant in the sculpture garden, run by the same chef as Bar Cecil. If you would like to be included in the optional group lunch reservation, please indicate this when you register.  

      Due to museum requirements, the last day to register for the tour is February 28 (if space is still available).

      Allow time to arrive at the museum, park, and enter the building by 10:15 AM.

Although peak bloom season isn't easily forecast, we may be lucky with wildflower sightings and views of snow on the San Jacinto Mountains.

    • PS - Camping - Salton Sea - Mecca Beach Campground

      Register

      Come and experience the Salton Sea for yourself, and discover why it is one of the most extraordinary and fascinating places in California. It is a unique place with many hidden treasures and secrets that are not well known. It has been forgotten as a busy tourist attraction of bygone years. Today, we have an amazing place to visit and explore. The sunsets and sunrises are stunning and peaceful. You should take the opportunity to experience it before its receding water levels cause it to change and vanish.

      One of the world's largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth at -227 below sea level, Salton Sea was re-created in 1905 when high spring flooding on the Colorado River crashed the canal gates leading into the developing Imperial Valley. For the next 18 months the entire volume of the Colorado River rushed downward into the Salton Trough. By the time engineers were finally able to stop the breaching water in 1907, the Salton Sea had been born at 45 miles long and 20 miles wide – equaling about 130 miles of shoreline. Salton Sea State Recreation Area covers 14 miles of the northeastern shore. Campers, birdwatchers, photographers and hikers can enjoy the site's many recreation opportunities. View the Salton Sea Recreation Area Brochure here.

      We will be camping at the Mecca Beach campground at the Salton Sea Recreation Area (SRA). The meet and greet, potluck and other activities will take place there. March is an ideal time to visit with mild temperatures.  Mecca Beach Campground is remote.  The markets and activities are a 20+ minute drive from the campground.  This campground is 50 yards from the water. In recent years, most life in the Salton Sea has perished, so there is no more massive fish die-offs, which means there is no longer that potent scent.  In fact there is typically no smell coming from the sea at all.  The sea itself is awe-inspiring.  You should not swim in the water at Salton Sea, nor should you allow your dogs to drink the water.  It is heavily polluted with fertilizer chemicals from farm run-off.  

      Activities could include hiking a slot canyon in the Mecca Hills, a 4x4 excursion, or an easy hike to the Visitor Center to view exhibits and a video on the Salton Sea.  Other activities could be a road trip to Niland area sites, including Salvation Mountain and East Jesus in Slab City, Obsidian Butte, the mud pot volcanoes, and the Salton Sea Reclamation Project. Check the whiteboard for updated activities info.

      NOTE:  This event is limited to GO members.  When you register, you'll need to have your credit card ready and pay your registration fee within 15 mins. If you are not a member yet, you can first join as a member online (click here) and then return here to register.

At the end of the campout, RV's should be able to dump at the dump station located at New Camp which is included in your registration fee. If you registered for a non-electric RV site, fresh water is available at the dump site to fill your RV tank before arriving at your site at the Mecca Beach campground.
      • RV Non-Electric Sites are dry camping sites – no hookups. QUIET HOURS are from 10 pm to 6 am and generators may only be operated between 10 am and 8 pm. See New Camp below for dump site information.

        Today’s Notable Residences Bike Ride Part 2 will take us through the quiet streets of The Movie Colony, Vista Las Palmas, Old Las Palmas and Little Tuscany. The properties visited on this Part 2 Bike Ride are different from the original Notable Residences Bike Ride. We will visit notable homes identified by The Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board plaques, homeowner placed plaques, as well as properties designated by The National Register of Historic Places. Street stops will include addresses of famous former owners, as well as modernism architectural styles popularized by notable architects of the period. This is a mostly flat riding experience. However, there are slight inclines riding through the Vista Las Palmas and Little Tuscany neighborhoods. We will return to the meet location at journey's end. Bathroom facilities will be found at Ruth Hardy Park.

        Meet Location: meet at 9:30 AM at the Desert Healthcare (Wellness) Park at the southeast corner of E. Tachevah Dr. and N. Via Miraleste. If you drive to the meet location, there is ample parking along N. Via Miraleste next to Ruth Hardy Park's tennis courts as well as within the park. Map click here.

        Distance: Total length about 8-10 miles round trip. 

        Disclaimer: This is a casual bike hike, not a fitness ride. We will stop for Historic Plaque viewing/reading and discussion points at approximately 15 locations.

        We will cross Palm Canyon Drive at traffic lights in both directions.

        You should consider yourself a confident street cyclist to enjoy this ride.

        Contact leader Bill B. click here.

        All riders are strongly encouraged to wear helmets. Inflate your tires to the recommended PSI. You may want to bring a tire pump, spare tube, bike tools, water, sunscreen and snacks.

        All riders should carry emergency contact information and water.

        Don't forget, when checking your tires, to re-adjust your seat height in order to get your best leg extension while riding.

        Westward Beach, Point Dume

        to Paradise Cove Café

        When: March 28, 2026, 11:00 AM 

        Join us for an exciting coastal hike. We begin at Westward Beach, over Point Dume, down approximately 200 stairs to the sand, and proceed to Paradise Cove Beach Café for lunch. Our hike is along the base of sea cliffs and is only possible during very low tides. This is an exciting Malibu experience, combining breathtaking coastal scenery with a beachside cafe frequented by celebrities. We will have plenty of stops to look for whales, dolphins, and sea lions. When looking at the tide pools please do not touch any of the animals, actually it is against the law, and be extra careful where you step.

        The return may have to be on top of the bluff, through the ritzy, star-studded neighborhoods but preferably along the sand and back up the stairs.

        Directions: Westward Beach Parking Lot, Pacific Coast Highway to the end of Westward Beach Road

        Meeting point: Drive to the end of Westward Beach Rd. and park, $8.00. We will meet at the end of the parking lot just beyond the restrooms.

        Hiking Distance: ~5 miles total

        Difficulty: Moderate, lengthy stairs, beach walking and a short hill up Point Dume.

        Bring: Water, Snacks, Beach friendly shoes with grip for stairs, hat/sunscreen, towel or beach gear if you’re hanging after the hike, binoculars

        Brunch: Paradise Cove Café  Credit cards accepted.

        Wrap-up: 2-3PM

        Optional: Hang out on the beach afterward! ️

        Low tide timing looks perfect!  We should have a smooth walk in the coves and around the points—just be prepared for a little bit of sea spray and beachy fun.

        Can’t wait to have this adventure with you all!

        Registration is free but required.  Participants must have registered to sign the mandatory liability release for which is part of the online registration process.

        If you register and then cannot go, please be respectful of others who wish to go by canceling your registration online ASAP to open up spaces. 

        If you have additional questions about this event, please email the trip leader at the address shown below.

        Trip Leader: Russell Hammerl [email protected]


        Point Dume to the beach below these cliffs.


        These stairs were completed in mid 2022 for a cost of 3.3 million.  Don’t be intimidated, we will take it slow.

        Looking back to Westward Beach from Point Dume.  A west facing beach is unusual in Malibu as most face south.  Zuma is next beach faintly seen in the distance.

        Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner loved Paradise Cove and spent their honeymoon on their yacht in the cove. Perhaps we will see a current member of the glitterati.


        A very low tide is required to do this hike. There are extremely few opportunities of such a very low tide happening each year.

        In the spring this prehistoric looking plant, the coreopsis, comes alive and is covered with beautiful yellow flowers. It only grows near Point Dume and a couple of points on the Channel Islands. Let’s protect it and other species by staying on the trails.

        Register

        Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was one of the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 


        Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold. After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.” After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing. Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon. In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine. He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch. After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

        An Incredible All-Gay Experience

        An Atlantis all-gay cruise is so much more than just a vacation.  It's a chance to see new places, meet new friends, and discover new ways to play.  For over 30 years, Atlantis created a space for guests to be their authentic selves with other friendly, passionate, like-minded guys.  There's power in the gay experience.  We see it every time one of our ships leaves the harbor.

        https://atlantisevents.com/vacation/la26-la-to-mexico/

        This is simply a notice and if you are interested please list your name on this GO registration so we can create group texts for those interested.

        You have to register DIRECTLY on the Atlantis website/link above if you intend to attend; as Atlantis will handle EVERYTHING, payments, room assignments, etc.

        It more fun when you have a group of friends to share the excitement with on these cruises.

         Unfortunately due to the strong demand by Alumni, we will be unable to get rooms next to each other.  However we can have group dinners, social meetings and plan on excursions together.


        This cruise will SELLOUT!; if you are interested I highly recommend you register ASAP with Atlantis!

        Atlantis does offer a variety of payment plans ranging from monthly payments to lump sum - thus making it affordable for most budgets.

        No money will be collected via GO, as all payments will be collected by Atlantis upon your registration with Atlantis.

          YOU NEED TO REGISTER WITH ATLANTIS ; registering on GO OCLB here, only lets us know who from GO will be attending so we can party together.

        If you are looking for a cabin mate; register as such on this posting.  An updated list will go out at the end of each month for those searching for a cabin mate.  The first list went out on August 19, and the updated version will go out at the end of each month.  It is the responsiblity of each member to find their own cabin mate if that is your preference.

        If you are attending with someone who is not a GO member and you wish to include him on our messaging please add him as a guest.  


        Mexico’s Best Beaches. And More.

        We are excited!  Are you?

        Explore the Pacific’s most alluring beaches and cities, including a late-night stay in gay-friendly Puerto Vallarta with plenty of time to enjoy the city’s incomparable nightlife and beach culture. Take a tour to the sensational vineyards of Baja California or just relax on a perfect beach during our first-ever visit to Ensenada.

        Dive, fish, or snorkel in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, or explore a nearby uninhabited beach. Discover the best of authentic Mexico in the charming city of Mazatlan, a remarkable beachfront metropolis.

        With three fantastically fun days at sea, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the myriad activities onboard with more ways to play than ever. Indulge in Virgin’s sensuous spa, take in a fitness class, relax by the pool with new friends, or just watch the ocean from your hammock. Join some of our zany activities, and don’t miss our legendary T-dances!


        Everything Included. For Nothing.

        Nobody likes paying for things they use all the time, like Wifi, basic beverages, and a terrific place for dinner. So, we don’t charge extra for them. Ever. Even fitness classes are included! Logon, drink up, spin a little, and enjoy!

        Every fabulously original restaurant is included with more choices than any other ship at sea. All you need to do is decide whether to indulge in fresh Italian at Extra Virgin, Korean BBQ at Gumbae, an inventive tasting menu at the Test Kitchen, brunch or steak at the Wake, all-day treats at Razzle Dazzle, and so much more. And there’s no buffet in sight. Or a massive banquet-like main hall. But who needs one with all these amazing spots?

        Oh, and by basic beverages we mean sodas, water, coffees, juices, and most non-alcoholic offerings. The hard stuff is, of course, extra.

        Lance being an Atlantis Alumni has registered for the cruise.

        Hawaii Big Island Day Hikes

        Tues 4/28/26 and Thu 4/30/26

        Hawaii is full of attractions that are unlike anything else in the world, but even among these unique wonders, Hawaii’s volcanoes stand out as truly remarkable. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii protects some of these natural marvels, including two of the world's largest and most active volcanoes.

        Come join me for day hikes at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and on the Big Island of Hawaii to experience stunning landscapes created by these volcanoes.

        Registration: Limited to Great Outdoors members

        Day Hike: Tue. Apr. 28th, 2026 at 9 am- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

        Day Hike: Thu. Apr. 30th, 2026 at 9 am- Big Island Hawaii, local trail. Location TBA.

        Transportation & Lodging: Air, ground transportation, lodging, meals, fuel, and travel costs on the Big Island of Hawaii is the responsibility of each member. It is strongly recommended that members purchase travel insurance to insure their trip costs in the event of cancellation or interruption. 

        Fees: Day hikes are FREE.  There is a vehicle entrance fee of $30 to enter Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  A valid national park pass waives the entrance fee. There may be parking and entrance fees charged at the trailhead of a local hiking trail on the Big Island.

        What to Bring: Day Pack with Ten Essentials. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and rain protection. Pack a lunch, snacks, and water.

        Important information

        Great Outdoors is not arranging air, ground transportation, or lodging for members on the Big Island of Hawaii. 

        Register- Please RSVP for a day hike so I know who is coming.

        I will email attendees with essential details such as trailhead location, parking, and hike mileage and elevation gain for each day hike up to two weeks before the event. 

        I am visiting the Big Island of Hawaii the week of 4/26 to 5/03/26 and inviting other Great Outdoors members to join me on day hikes on Tuesday 4/28 and Thursday 4/30/26.

        I am staying in Kailua-Kona, so if you are also visiting the Big Island of Hawaii during the last week of April 2026, reach out and let’s meet up.



        Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

        Climate- In late April, the climate on the Big Island of Hawaii is generally pleasant, with daytime temperatures averaging in the high 70’s to low 80’s F and evening temperatures dropping into the 60’s F.  This month marks the end of the rainy season, so you can expect fewer rain showers, although it’s still possible to experience some rain, especially at night.

        Questions?

        Email Michael at [email protected]

        Disclosure- I do not respond to emails immediately due to my non-traditional work schedule. I will respond to emails about this event on my days off.

        Yosemite National Park

        Curry Village Canvas Tents

        May 15-18, 2026

        Need we say more?

         Yes we will! 

        Spring in Yosemite can't be beat!

        We will be heading to Yosemite at the BEST time to visit this illustrious National Park!  The weather will be amazing with the waterfalls at their most dynamic! Our lodging for the 3-night outing will be in Camp Curry, in unheated canvas tents.

        These events get sold out to capacity each year!

        Do NOT hesitate to book as soon as possible as we expect this event to be SOLD OUT again!


        Yosemite is one of the most popular National Parks in the country and we in southern California are very fortunate to have it so close. If you have never seen it then this Great Outdoors trip is a good opportunity for you to be introduced to this special place.

        If you have been there one or more times, then you’ll understand why many have made a Yosemite visit an annual event.  The grandeur and majesty of the park are so enriching that Yosemite can be experienced and enjoyed again and again.  The natural beauty of the park has inspired many for the last 150 years, but perhaps none more effusive than John Muir, who said of Yosemite, “It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter.” Please join us in this temple of the great outdoors.

        Pictured above:  Richard, Mike and Claudia half way up to the top of upper Yosemite Falls, this photo is at the top of lower Yosemite Falls.

        The location of this trip will be Yosemite Valley.  Our accommodations are canvas tents in Camp Curry, a rustic but charming village near the east end of the valley.

        Arrival should be about 4:00 pm on Friday afternoon.

        For both Saturday and Sunday, there will be optional hikes each day to choose from - one will be strenuous, the other will be easy.  Or simply visit the galleries, stores, bike ride, museums and/or stroll in the valley floor!


        Pictured above:  We are hitting the Panorama Trail that will put us back to Yosemite Valley - 8 Miles.  Yippee!

        On Monday morning we must check out of the cabins by 11:00 am. 

        More details will be announced as we finalize registration.

        Canvas Tents:

        We have secured four canvas tents for our group.  

        Each tent has 3 single beds and a double.  We can max out at 5 people per tent.  We are hoping to get a couple or friends (with benefits or without benefits) to share the double bed.  This way we can max out each tent with 5 people so that we can get as many as possible to experience Yosemite for this excursion.

        If you want to be in the same tent with another member please note that on the registration.

        If you prefer sharing a double cot with someone please note that on the registration and who the person is so we match you with the correct person.

        If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise.  This is close sleeping quarters.




         Driving & Directions:

        While GO is not authorized to be directly involved in coordinating carpools, we highly recommend our members to consider carpooling!

        What else?

        Cooking facilities/campfire rings are not available in Curry Village. However, there are several dining options near our cabins.  




        Such as Pizza & Beer, Cafeteria (with Vegan options!) and of course burgers & fries too. A general store is also open for purchasing food items and other material goods. You may bring snack food and drinks, but all food and scented items must be stored in the bear-proof storage locker in front of the cabin. This includes all food, food related items, toiletries, sundries and ice chests. Bears have a strong sense of smell and are attracted to anything they think will lead them to human food. Remember not to store these items in your vehicle or  canvas tent . It is recommended to use sealed plastic containers for storing your food inside the bear boxes. This makes it easier to keep your food organized, and away from campground critters.

        And of course, there is the option of having some fine dining at the Awahnee!


        Showers, sinks and flush toilets are all available to participants.

        Be sure to remember a flashlight or headlamp to find your way around Camp Curry at night. In addition, a sleeping bag (recommended), an extra blanket or a honey bunny may help keep you warm at night.  Other things to bring:

        •Warm outer gear appropriate for snow and/or rain or Shorts and T-shirts for warm days

        •Layered under gear (long underwear, etc.)

        •Hat, gloves, scarf, etc.

        •Sunglasses, sun block (for your face), lip balm 

        •Sturdy hiking shoes 


        Weather: Average temperatures in May in the Yosemite Valley range from the low 50s (night time) to the low-mid 70s during the day. Conditions may vary between sun, clouds, rain, or snow. Be prepared for anything. Expect the unexpected!  

        The trip leader will inform you of the weather conditions a couple days before our arrival but you may also want to keep abreast of them by using the Yosemite National Park website. (Click here.)





        Price: 

        $225 for Great Outdoors members for the 4 days/3 nights event.  Come early on Friday to enjoy the park and/or stay late on Monday to enjoy the park!  We will check into our canvas tents at 4 PM on Friday.

        This is a members only event, thus an annual membership ($25) must be purchased prior to signing up for this event.

        If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise.  This is close sleeping quarters.

        Cancellations will be authorized up to 21 days prior to start day of event IF a replacement can be found; a $20 cancellation fee will be charged.

        Trip Leader: Lance Whitmier



        Lance states:  Yosemite mesmerized me the very first time I visited the Park in the 90's.  I always brag about the majestic beauty of Yosemite along with it's grandeur and power.  I claim that Yosemite is indeed "my Heaven on Earth" and I can't wait to share the experience with you!"  For those visiting Yosemite for the first time - be prepared to experience a bit of heaven and the surreal!

        The Salton Sea is one of the most enigmatic places in the Southwest. It is a unique place with many hidden treasures and secrets that are not well known. It has been forgotten as a busy tourist attraction of bygone years. .....

        Select your registration that conforms to the following definitions:

        • RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or season use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).
        • Tent: a collapsible shelter of fabric stretched and sustained by poles and used for camping.

        • The weather in Egypt in November is warm, 75- 85F in the day, 55-60F at night. Egypt gets almost no rain.
        • Egyptians are friendly but sometimes aggressive salespeople (they figure they have 10 seconds to get your attention as you walk past their shops). They drive a hard bargain and prices are rarely labeled. Travelers need to learn to bargain effectively.
        • Poverty and litter are sometimes shocking and depressing.

        TRAVEL INSURANCE

        Although not required, GeoTours and GO strongly recommends that trip participants purchase travel insurance.

        • GeoTours has partnered with Generali Global Assistance (GGA), a well-established provider of travel insurance. You can use this GeoTours-Generali link, and the premium will be the same as going straight to the Generali site.
        • GGA’s ESSENTIAL policy covers Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Medical Evacuation, Medical costs, and Lost/Stolen Baggage. Trip Cancellation coverage means that travel insurance will reimburse non-refundable trip costs if you cancel for a covered reason. Cancellation coverage only works if you purchase the insurance BEFORE a sickness or injury forces you to cancel, and an insurance claim requires a physician’s written advice that you should cancel your trip due to your illness or injury.
        • GGA's ESSENTIAL coverage costs about $250 for a 60-year-old, $3900 trip cost (airfare + GeoTours price), November 13 – 24, 2026. Cost depends on age and is less for younger travelers, more for older travelers.
        • You can also compare travel insurance policies from other providers at squaremouth.com.
        • If you travel frequently, you should consider an annual policy from Allianz.

        CANCELLATION POLICY

        To cancel your participation, you must inform GeoTours in writing or by email. Cancellation date is the date when GeoTours receives your written notice.

        Personal Considerations & Safety: 

        While several LGBTQ groups visit Egypt every year with no problems, all participants will need to understand and acknowledge the following cultural notes to ensure the group's safety:

        Egypt is generally not considered safe for openly LGBTQ+ travelers due to conservative social norms, lack of legal protections, and potential persecution under "morality" laws, with arrests and hostility possible, so extreme discretion, avoiding PDA and dressing modestly are crucial for those who choose to visit.

        Key Considerations for LGBTQ+ Travelers:

        • Legal Situation: 

          Homosexuality isn't explicitly outlawed, but "debauchery" and "public morals" laws are used to prosecute LGBTQ+ individuals, with severe penalties like long prison sentences.

        • Social Environment: 

          Public attitudes are conservative, and while some tourists have positive experiences, hostility and potential violence are risks.

        • Discretion is Key: 

          Avoid all public displays of affection (PDA), even for straight couples, and don't wear LGBTQ+ symbols like rainbow attire.

        • Safety in Numbers: 

          Group tours and reputable tour operators (some specifically LGBTQ+-focused) offer better safety and navigation than solo travel.

        • Accommodation: 

          Staying in larger, international hotel chains (Marriott, Hilton) can offer more anonymity than smaller places.

        • Online & Apps: 

          Use extreme caution with social media apps like Grindr.

        • Gender Non-Conformity: 

          Transgender individuals may face scrutiny; binding for FTM individuals is suggested to avoid unwanted attention.

        Tips for a Safer Trip:

        • Dress modestly: Blend in by adhering to local cultural norms.
        • Be discreet: Don't openly discuss your sexuality or gender identity.
        • Consider a fake ring: Wearing a fake wedding/engagement ring can deflect unwanted questions from locals.

        • Dos Picos County Park Trip Notes

          Dos Picos County Park is located in Ramona, California. Its name is Spanish for "two peaks," derived from the two prominent mountains nearby. The surrounding ranch land and steep rocky slopes help preserve its secluded atmosphere.

          This park is known for its magnificent Oak trees.  The landscape is a mixture of chaparral, open grassland, and oak woodland. Coyote, fox, possum, skunk, and raccoon are all seen in the park regularly.

          The city of Ramona is minutes away when driving.  You may purchase food and other supplies there.

          Maximum RV length is 40 feet.  All sites have E/W. Several sites will be dedicated as tent sites.  These sites can have three tents, max and two cars.  The water spigots at these sites are unique.  It is housed in a plastic box that sits below ground level.  

          Tent campers, all the sites are gravel.   Your tent will likely be pitched on gravel.  Please bring blow-up mattresses or cots to sleep on, so you are not sleeping on gravel.  Tents should also bring extension cords. 

          At each site there is room for an RV and tow vehicle, or two vehicles.  Extra vehicles can park in the overflow lot for a total of $9, which is paid by GOPS.  The overflow parking lot is NOT close.  It’s located on the opposite side of the campground from our sites, so car camping would NOT be a good choice, please bring a tent.

          Leashed dogs are welcome at $1/night/dog.  Campers will pay for their own dogs upon check-in at the campground. 

          Sites 63 & 69 are ADA sites.  If you have an ADA placard, please let the trip leader know.   

          We will have access to the indoor pavilion and its outdoor picnic area.  It is located in the middle of all our sites.  There is a massive fire pit. The use of that pavilion and its outdoor space was an additional cost that was figured into the cost of this campout.  Typical weather in this area in November is high 73, low 42.

          Cancellation policy: cancel for full refund minus a $10 fees on or before Nov 10th, 2024.
