New Year's Day hikes are planned at 38 state parks and historic sites across New York on Friday.
Programs include a snowshoe waterfall hike, pet-friendly treks, crossing one of the world's longest pedestrian bridges, history tours, and walks through winter woodlands. Many hikes offer refreshments.
Last year, more than 2,100 participants joined in the First Day Hikes.
