This resource focuses on designing an ideal hiking experience for New Year's Day, known as a First Day Hike, which is a tradition in U.S. state parks. It encourages participants to connect with nature while celebrating themes of renewal and reflection. The document outlines specific goals, such as understanding the cultural significance of First Day Hikes and applying geographical knowledge to plan a meaningful hike. It includes sections for planning the hike’s location, the best time of day for the hike, cultural and historical significance, essential gear, and field observations. Additionally, learners are tasked with constructing a claim, supporting it with evidence and reasoning connected to New Year's themes, while also incorporating interdisciplinary applications, such as calculating hike time and elevation. By completing this reflection, participants enhance their appreciation for nature and cultural practices associated with the New Year.
