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, were 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 isnt optional. We are committed to creating space where everyone can participate, move their body, and be part of this day. 1.5 miles

This isnt just a hike.
Its visibility in outdoor infrastructure.
Its community in motion.
Its Pride where it hasnt 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 youre exactly where youre supposed to be. Whether youre 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.

Lets fill these trails.
