Starting the new year with a hike is a wonderful way to promote both physical and mental health, and it’s great that El Paso and New Mexico are embracing the First Day Hikes initiative.
With several state parks offering guided hikes, people can connect with nature while exploring local trails.
The event at Chuck Heinrick Park in El Paso sounds like a great opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Franklins while learning about the desert environment.
For those interested in participating, it’s important to come prepared with plenty of water, sunscreen, and snacks.
With a $5 park fee or a Texas Park pass it’s a cost-effective way to spend the first day of the year outdoors.
