We invite you to kick-start the new year by getting some fresh air and enjoying the outdoors with a First Day Hike. On January 1, docents, volunteers, and staff will show visitors the wonders of California’s state parks via guided hikes. Distance and rigor will vary per hike or activity, so visitors are encouraged to check out details of start times and descriptions of hikes. First Day Hikes is a national-led effort that encourages individuals and families to experience, with a seasoned guide, the beautiful natural and cultural resources found in the outdoors so they may be inspired to take advantage of these treasures throughout the year. 50+ state parks will be hosting hikes on January 1. Plan your First Day Hike at parks.ca.gov/FirstDayHikes2023. The webpage will be updated regularly with new info.
