First Day Hike at Estero Llano Grande State Park in far south Texas. Birding paradise down here this time of year! So many different species of birds! Alligator Lake didn’t disappoint either! #hiking #Texas #firstdayhike #birding

Young boy in white shirt rides a small bike along the pedestrian only bridge across Lake Marion in South Carolina.
Our #firstdayhike was along the Lake Marion passage of the Palmetto Trail. The bridge was the precursor to the existing one on 1-95, and was turned into a pedestrian-only space in 2023. It was a gorgeous day and a beautiful hike (or bike, for my 9-year-old). #familyhike #southcarolina #travel

Melissa starting her First Day Hike on the BCMC Trail at the base of Grouse Mountain

Started our #FirstDayHike up the BCMC Trail amid moss + ferns, and ended it in snow + moonlight atop Grouse Mountain. Loved starting 2026 off in a healthy way.
Thanks Ontario Parks + @bcparksfoundation.ca for keeping this tradition going across Canada since 2018!

The low January sun over the grasslands of the serpentine barrens of Soldiers Delight NEA
My obligatory photo of the "I Hiked" sticker I obtained at Soldiers Delight.

One of a herd of deer I saw along the Switchback Trail at Patapsco Valley State Park (McKeldin Area)
I did a #FirstDayHike in two Maryland State Parks, first at Soldiers Delight NEA and the second at the nearby McKeldin Area of Patapsco Valley State Park. I always forget how many awesome trails are at the McKeldin Area. #ParkChat #PublicLands

New Mexico, you’re a knockout!
Thought we got around too late to get in on a #firstdayhike. But since you can only walk across this dam once a year, (thanks for the info, @LauraDapkus!), it counts.
Accompanied by happy people and dogs, and one tiny human who achieved his first solo bike ride. 🚴♂️

Selfie in my light blue parka in a snowy wood
The snow from this morning’s squall obscured all of the ice patches so my 6th #FirstDayHike was a short one on the tiny paved trail. I still enjoyed a bright morning, smelling the Boy Scout’s fire and listening to the Canadian geese flying overhead

A serene lakeside scene featuring a large sign spelling "LOVE" with the letters made of various materials, including a white tire and wood. In the background, there is a calm lake and a few trees against a blue sky with scattered clouds.

#firstdayhike has become a great New Year's tradition at Lacey Keosauqua State Park. I went the whole three miles, then boarded the bus to the CCC-built lodge for soup and cookies. I saw many old friends and made a few new ones. The hills were tough!
