## Resource

Portland’s latest outdoors group is helping people discover the city’s many beautiful trails, and high-heeled hiking boots are encouraged. Drag Me Outside, a new hiking group that focuses on accessible, low-impact trails around the city, is led by two environmental scientists who are also drag performers. On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we talk to the duo behind Drag Me outside: Evergreen Hosp aka Thespis D.Light and Fiona Skye, aka Efemmera Gendera. The pair talk about their backgrounds in ecology and ornithology, and the importance of making a safe outdoor space for the local queer community. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: The origin story of Drag Me Outside. Why it’s important to make safe outdoor spaces for the queer community. Why birds are an important symbol of the group. How people can sign up for the drag hikes around Portland. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
