What better way to welcome the new year that an awesome outdoor adventure!

New Year’s goal: spend more time outside.
Step one? First Day Hikes. 🌲🏔️🥾

Celebrate the New Year outdoors at one of our annual First Day Hikes events on Jan. 1.

Join the Washington State Parks for guided hikes and snowshoe hikes at state parks across southwest Washington and western Washington, some sites require registration: https://parks.wa.gov/find-activity/activity-search/first-day-hikes.

Choose from guided hikes, snowshoes excursions, trails rides, a polar plunge (if you’re brave 🥶), interpretive activities and more. Every hike offers the opportunity to experience something new, recharge for the year ahead and celebrate community in the outdoors.
Most First Day Hikes require advanced registration, and group sizes may be limited, so don’t wait!
