DCR invites you to step into the New Year with a First Week Hike, a COVID-19 alternative to our traditional First Day Hikes, which celebrates its 31st Anniversary in 2022!Massachusetts is known for starting revolutions, so on January 1, 1992 when 380 people gathered for the premier First Day Hike at the Blue Hills Reservation it is no surprise that this Massachusetts outdoor initiative swept the nation.
It also marks the tenth year that all 50 states have adopted this happy, healthy start to the new year!
First Day Hikes offer individuals and families an opportunity to begin the New Year with a rejuvenating outdoor experience by reconnecting with nature and fitting in a few hours of exercise.
Visitors attending should wear appropriate foot wear for the conditions and bring hats, gloves, scarves and other necessary outdoor apparel.
