You can’t hike all year if you don’t start one day one, right? First Day Hikes are a national event, but in 2021 the Texas Parks & Wildlife have already announced a few changes.
For starters, the hikes will mostly be self-guided, but that’s just for the special events. You can definitely just get out on the trails and be outside to set off your year on a positive note.
Here is the list of hiking events that TPWD is putting on.
There are a few state parks that will have reservations for some guided hikes, so makes sure you check them out!
According to the American Hiking Society, ‘First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America’s State Parks to encourage people to get outdoors’.
And even in Texas it’s going to be a bit chilly so make sure you’re dressed in layers, bring a flashlight for the shorter sun, and sunscreen. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean you can’t get sunburned.
