Mark your calendar for a visit to Roman Nose State Park for a free guided hike on January 1 at noon. Meet at the Lodge for a moderate to strenuous three-mile (round trip) hike to Inspiration Point. Be sure to bring your pets on leashes, binoculars, camera, water and dress appropriately for cold weather. Complimentary coffee, hot chocolate and tea will be provided.

The event is held in conjunction with the America's State Parks First Day Hikes initiative that will take place in all 50 states. First Day Hikes encourage individuals and families to start the year off on the right foot with a trek through a state park.
