Parks officials: Start new year with a hike

MADISON - Wisconsin state parks officials say a New Year's Day hike would be a great way to start 2015.

The Department of Natural Resources is hosting First Day Hikes events at 11 state parks Thursday. The hikes are part of a nationwide initiative led by America's State Parks to get people outdoors, with over 400 hikes scheduled this year in all 50 states. Participants are encouraged to use the hashtag #firstdayhikes to share their experiences on social media.

State parks employees and volunteers will be leading the hikes.
