January 1 is a great day to visit Bluestone State Park and participate in a First Day Hike.
Naturalist and educator Jonathan Lipscomb invites you to join him and other park folks. “As the new year gets closer, we’ll add information about where to meet, what time and some trail information.”
Participants can plan on being outdoors for a minimum of an hour or more. Bundle up or layer for the weather and wear good hiking boots. Consider packing a snack or water. In the event of inclement weather the hike will be shortened accordingly. “We’ll pace ourselves to enjoy the hike and our first day of 2024.”
First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America’s State Parks to get people outdoors, with hikes scheduled in all 50 states. Kids and adults all across America will be participating in First Day Hikes, getting their hearts pumping and enjoying the beauty of a state park.
