Join in a long-standing tradition happening throughout the nation and take a hike on New Year's Day.
Join a ranger on a guided hike where we will learn about animals, plants and everything in-between! You will even receive a fun sticker when you participate.
Throughout the day there will be three guided hike times:
8 AM- 9 AM (Easy, ~1 mile)
*Meet: Rock Barn*
Bring: Good walking shoes, water, binoculars (if you have them), and dress for the weather.
Note: This walk will be more focused on bird watching but not limited to it.
10 AM- 11 AM- Mesquite Bend Trail (easy/ moderate, ~2 miles)
*Meet: Old Museum*
Bring: Good walking shoes, water, binoculars (if you have them), and dress for the weather
2 PM- 3:30 PM- Mesquite Bend Trail (easy/ moderate, ~2.5 miles)
*Meet: Old Museum*
Bring: Good walking shoes, water, binoculars (if you have them), and dress for the weather.
Want to do things at your pace? That's ok! Hike any one of our four trails any time between 8 AM and 4 PM. Then, stop into headquarters to report it and get a fun sticker!
