First Day Hikes

Celebrate the new year by hiking at a Colorado state park. First Day Hikes offers a chance to start the new year off on the right foot by exercising in nature. Each participating state park offers a unique opportunity to enjoy self-guided hikes, scavenger hunts, or limited-capacity guided hikes.

Hikes ​​are free, but park visitors must possess a valid park 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. Some hikes may require these items initially, so make sure to check the event to know what you need!
