For the 11th consecutive year, Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails will host popular First Day Hikes on January 1.
First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America’s State Parks to encourage people to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors.
On New Year’s Day, people of all ages will have access to hundreds of free guided hikes organized around the country.
These events will be held at a total of 13 Wyoming State Park and Historic Site locations and hikers may receive swag items or other promotional items for participating. Park staff and volunteers will lead the hikes, which range from 1 to 4.2 miles.
Details about hiking locations, difficulty, length, and terrain are as follows for Fremont County:
Participants are encouraged to “know before you go” and to prepare for winter weather conditions, including dressing appropriately.
Drinks and refreshments will be provided at most locations, however, participants are also encouraged to bring their own water and snacks.
