Get ready to walk the land, hear untold stories, and see how we’re restoring forests, protecting wildlife, and building a more inclusive future outdoors. Perfect for first-time hikers, families, and changemakers.
Our tours are designed to help people reconnect with the land and with one another. Explore our photo gallery for a glimpse into how we experience nature with care and curiosity.
White visitors remain disproportionately overrepresented in state and national parks (70–80%), while Black and Hispanic visitors are underrepresented (roughly 4–12%).
These challenges are systemic but addressable.
Rewriting the narrative means making parks relevant, accessible, and true reflections of all communities—through storytelling, staffing, programming, and removing practical barriers.
That’s why we’re launching Gateway Park.
At Gateway Park, we believe the great outdoors should belong to everyone. Our mission is to create an inclusive, joyful space where people of color, who have long been made to feel unwelcome, can fully enjoy nature without fear, exclusion, or discomfort.
We’re working to rewrite the outdoor narrative so everyone feels they belong in the woods, on the water, and under the stars.
Join our movement to reclaim and reimagine the outdoors. Sign up to get updates on Gateway Park events, community actions, nature programs, and how we’re building a more inclusive future outside.
