Start the New Year off on the right foot at one of Colorado's state parks for "First Day Hikes"!
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) wants you to have a great start to 2022 by enjoying the beauty our great state has to offer. "First Day Hikes" will take place at a Colorado state park, each with its own opportunities to take in nature.
A few things to note before we list some of the participating parks (Courtesy of CPW):
- Hikes are free but park visitors must possess a valid parks pass.
- Participating parks may require a reservation prior to the hike, check the park’s webpage for details.
- Hikes will vary in skill level and length depending on location and weather conditions.
- Bring snacks, water, extra clothing, and hiking shoes with good traction. If trails are icy or snowy consider bringing trekking poles, snowshoes, or shoe spikes.
We're not going to list all of the Colorado parks (ain't nobody got time for that!), but if you're interested in the full list of participating Colorado state parks for First Day Hikes, visit cpw.state.co.us. Some featured favorites include Staunton State Park, Roxborough State Park, and Mueller State Park, among others.
