Start the New Year with a First Day Hike

Photo of child touching a coastal trail sign.First Day Hikes encourage people to start the new year in the great outdoors.  On January 1, get out for a walk to connect with nature, enjoy open spaces and get some fresh air.

In California, our magnificent coastline is a terrific public resource to explore on January 1 and everyday.  Whether you find a stretch of the California Coastal Trail to hike or just make the journey from the parking lot to the waves, we want all Californians to explore the coast.

Share a photo or a selfie of your First Day Hike with the hashtags #FirstDayHikes and #ExploreTheCoast to share your adventure!
