First Day Hike.

Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites, and Trails is pleased to announce the 14th consecutive year of its popular First Day Hikes on January 1, 2025.

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 can kick off the New Year out of doors with access to hundreds of free guided hikes organized in all fifty states.

These events will be held at 18 Wyoming State Park and Historic Site locations statewide. Hikes are free and open to the public; all day use fees will be waived on January 1 as part of this initiative.

Once again, participants at each site will also have the chance to win a 2025 Annual Day-Use Certificate and enter a statewide Grand Prize drawing for participating.

Park staff and volunteers will lead the hikes, ranging from 1 to 3 miles.
