Start 2023 with a hike
Monday, December 19, 2022 by Tai Moses
If you’re looking for a brand-new, healthy New Year’s tradition, Texas Parks & Wildlife has just the thing: Take a hike. For its First Day hikes, TPWD has collected some of the state’s best and most beautiful walks, varying from short strolls to vigorous climbs, through wetlands, forest, beaches or mountains. Some of the hikes are actually bike rides or horseback rides, and some are guided and others are self-guided, so there is truly something for everyone. See a list of all the First Day hikes.
