Ring in the New Year right with a First Day Hike on the Kiowa Trail!

Join our rangers for a brisk, afterhours hike on the Kiowa Trail right as the clock strikes midnight! Participants will be hiking along a portion of the Kiowa Trail (0.8 miles one way) for around 1 hour as we share stories of the tradition of First Day Hikes and of the significance of starting fresh as the calendar turns to a new year. A shuttle will be provided for those who would prefer to walk only one way.

Things You Should Know:

Meet: At the Mack Dick Pavilion Parking Lot.

Bring: Comfortable walking/hiking shoes or boots (they will get sandy), Headlamp/Flashlight, 1 liter of water per person per mile, and weather appropriate clothing (jackets, etc.).

Cost: Included with admission to the park. Park admission is free with a Texas State Park Pass (purchased before event).

Remember to pay with a self-service envelope at Headquarters or make a day use reservation before arriving!
