First Day Hike at Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary

Welcome 2026 with a new tradition and a healthy way to start the new year. Our 4th annual event offer a chance to get outside, meet fellow Sanctuary hikers, enjoy nature and perhaps work off a few holiday calories.

The hike begins at 10 a.m., and will cover approximately 1.5 miles of trails. Afterwards, an assortment of healthy snacks and drinks will be available, as well as coffee and cocoa by the Brooks Hall fireplace.

The First Day hike is FREE, but registration is required so we have an idea of how many snacks to provide.

First Day Hikes will take place in all 50 states this year. They originated more than 20 years ago at the Blue Hills Reservation, a state park in Milton, Massachusetts, and are an initiative of the American Hiking Society and America's State Parks.
