First Day Hike: Tiny Trails, Big Senses

Start the new year with a gentle adventure designed especially for young explorers and their families. On this First Day Hike, we’ll take a short, family-friendly walk through the woods, using our senses of touch, taste, sight, and hearing to connect with nature in a fun and meaningful way. Along the trail, we’ll pause to feel tree bark, listen for birds, and spot winter wonders all around us.

At the end of the hike, each child will create a special footprint craft to take home—a keepsake to remember their very first steps into the new year.

This program is perfect for children ages 3–8, but all ages are welcome. Come make memories, explore with your senses, and start the year off on the right foot.

Parks are for everyone. If you have accessibility questions or concerns, please call 540-862-8114 or email Hannah.Johnson@dcr.virginia.gov.
