A First Day Hike

Enjoy the first day of the new year with a ranger-led guided hike along Chestnut Creek from the Cliffview campground to Chestnut Falls. Learn about the history of the Norfolk and Western Railroad and the significance of the industries that the railroad supported while enjoying the scenery as you walk along Chestnut Creek. It will be an approximately 4 mile hike along the old railroad bed. Strollers and leashed pets are welcome. Please dress for the weather. More info: https://tinyurl.com/GuidedHike

A nice thing about the tradition of hiking on New Year’s Day is knowing there are thousands of others celebrating outdoors today across the globe. Check the state park system in your area to see if guided hikes are being offered in your area this year. For VA State Parks, visit: www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/firstdayhikes
