Virginia’s Department of Conservation and Recreation is inviting you to take a hike on New Year’s Day as part of the nationwide First Day Hike initiative!

Many Virginians may be spending the first day of the new year hiking!

The days may be getting shorter, but the fun goes into the night in Franklin County. November Night Hikes begin next week.
