SALT LAKE CITY – Utah State Parks is kicking off 2018 with another installment of our annual First Day Hikes on New Years Day.
This year we are hosting hikes at five different state parks: Antelope Island State Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, Great Salt Lake State Park, and Territorial Statehouse State Park Museum.
Each hike begins at different times, so please ensure you check all your information is correct before heading to the hike meet-up location.
This year, we are especially excited for the Full Moon Hike along the Silver Sands Beach Trail at the Great Salt Lake State Park. The sun will set at 5:11 p.m. followed by the full moon rising at 5:12 p.m. Come see the Great Salt Lake like you never have before.
All participants should check temperature and weather conditions before heading out and wear the appropriate gear. If weather is severe, participants should plan on checking individual park websites and Facebook pages for notice of cancellation before heading out. Remember to wear appropriate shoes, and bring plenty of water and snacks.
