The Black Outdoors
The Black Outdoors, similarly to Outdoor Afro is an organization that primarily focuses on hiker diversity. It is more of an online organization where men and women of color can form different groups and reach out to one another to coordinate outdoor activities. Activities may include hiking, camping, biking, and more. Day hiking on the AT is a popular activity that hiking groups participate in. The next group hike happening on the AT is scheduled for this upcoming May.
While not as established as Outdoor Afro, The Black Outdoors is still a major contributor to hiker diversity seeing as through there are not many organizations of its kind. Visiting the website you will see that it is more of a forum or blog as opposed to an actual website you are meant to navigate. This website is not meant to advertise or market the organization rather the primary purpose of the website is to help African American people get in contact with other African Americans in order to experience outdoor activities together.
