#KindlingCollective - Winter Walk Fore River

February 7, 2026, 10:00am - 2:00pm, #PortlandME

About this trip:

Build confidence in hiking in the wintertime with Daene on the trails at the Fore River Sanctuary/Jewel Falls in Portland. This is a great event for folks looking to get more accustomed to the challenges and joys of safe hiking in the snow & ice.

Expect ice-covered trails & wooden bridges, stairs, inclined walking ranging from mostly flat to steeper inclines, and the sharing/swapping of techniques, skills & stories.

Gear/accessibility aids will be available to borrow from the gear library: micro-spikes for shoes, hiking poles, base layers, etc.

This event is a #QueerSafe event! "Queer events are designed as an affinity spaces for queer and trans people of all racial identities. If you think you might be queer or trans, you are queer enough. While we love our allies and advocates, if you’re not queer, don’t come to these events."

Experience Required: None
Cost: $5-$20
