First Day Hikes

Seventeen Maryland state parks are sponsoring First Day Hikes on January 1, 2012, in conjunction with America's State Parks, a national effort to promote state parks as a valuable, healthy resource for outdoor recreation across the U.S.

According to the press release, "First Day Hikes in Maryland include family-friendly, easy to moderate, guided hikes that let adults and youth alike reconnect with nature after the busy holidays."

I love this idea!

The boys will be with their dad on New Year's Day, but perhaps I can drag Aunty M through the woods?

A list of Maryland First Day Hikes may be found here.

You'll likely need warmer clothes than these!
