Step out into a new year with a First Day Hike at Chief Logan State Park. It’s not a long hike but it is a hike to get outside and greet 2023 on January 1.

Meet Naturalist Lauren Cole at the Museum in the Park at 10:00 a.m. for this guided hike on the easy Cliffside Trail. Today you’ll see Chief Logan’s winter forest. The trail has one small steep section to get started, but then it is an easy hike and appropriate for participants of all experience levels.

There is no fee to participate. If you show, we go regardless of rain or snow, and hopefully some sunshine. A First Day Patch is earned for each hiker that completes the hike with Cole. Please bundle up for the weather.
