Boise’s First Day Hikes: New Year, New Traditions

Braving the chilly, rainy weather, Boise locals kicked off the year with a First Day Hike at Lucky Peak State Park—hot chocolate in hand and ranger Nels Rasmussen leading the way. These guided walks aren’t just about exercise; they’re a chance to spot herons, eagles, and learn about the Boise River canyon’s wildlife. First Day Hikes have become a nationwide tradition, helping folks log over a million miles since 2012. With three state parks nearby, it’s easy to make outdoor adventures a New Year’s ritual. Who else is thinking of starting 2026 on the trails? #Travel #Boise #FirstDayHike
