First Day HikesWhat better way to kick off the New Year than by getting a jump start burning off those extra holiday calories in the great outdoors? 

First Day Hikes are staff-led hikes, held annually on New Year’s Day thru-out the Country, and are designed to encourage visitors to enjoy parks year-round and to promote good health and exercise. Start the New Year off right! #firstdayhikes

Find a guided hike in a Alabama State Park, or find a trail near you. First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America’s State Parks to encourage people to get outdoors.
