A Popular Event Is Back In Casper To Kick Off The New Year

Have you heard the old saying...

"You can't eat all day if you don't start in the morning."

At Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park, they've changed that saying to be...

"You can't hike all year long if you don't start on day one."

The 14th annual "First Day Hikes" is back on New Year's Day 205, with more features than before. The park is adding an opportunity to take in a Yoga session with Theraexpression Meditation before embarking on the 1.5-mile hike on the park's paved trails.

Like last year, there will be snacks, beverages, a fire to warm up by, and a story to read while you walk if you choose to do so. This year's title is Water is Life: Snow.

The Yoga session will begin at 9:30 a.m., and the hike will start at 10 a.m. on January 1st, 2025. Everyone who participates in the day's events will be entered to receive an annual 2025 Wyoming State Parks Day Pass

Dogs on leashes are welcome. If snow or ice is on the ground, snowshoes will be available. Admission is free. Please dress for the weather.

The First Day Hikes are a perfect way to get the family off the couch and on the trails to kick off 2025. For more information, you can check out the Wyoming State Parks website, or Edness K Wilkins Facebook Page.
