Join the Rainbow Ramblers for a day hike to Columnar Peak and The Gargoyles! Offering sweeping vistas of the Garibaldi Massif, this route combines alpine ridge walking with some stunning rock formations far friendlier than their names suggest. While the terrain is manageable for intermediate hikers looking to log some elevation, expect a full day on the trail. Whether you are looking to connect with fellow 2SLGBTQIA+ outdoorspeople or simply spend a rewarding day high in the hills, we would love to have you along!

This trip is organized by Rainbow Ramblers, the 2SLGBTQIA+ affinity group of the BC Mountaineering Club. We create a welcoming space for 2SLGBTQIA+ members and allies to connect, explore the outdoors, and support one another. Our trips are designed to be inclusive, respectful, and community-minded — with attention to accessibility and diverse experiences. Whether you’re a regular club member or new to BCMC, you’re warmly invited to join us! Read more about this affinity group here.

** We encourage allies to invite and bring the 2SLGBTQIA+ people in their lives to this event. **

2SLGBTQIA+* = Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, agender, asexual. Plus (+) represents other gender and sexual identities not listed in the acronym.
