New Year’s Day Hike! Come out and play!

Join us for a New Year’s Day hike at the Indiana Dunes. Feel the "cool" breeze on your face, breathe in the clean air, listen to the birds singing. Just enjoy being outside. Start out the New Year on the right foot! We will hike about 4 to 8 miles (depending on conditions) on mostly inland trails where it is more sheltered from the winter winds. We will stop briefly for a lunch break on the trail or between hikes. This is an important natural area and is known as the birthplace of ecology. The trip starts at the trail head at 11 AM Chicago time to give you a bit more time on New Year's morning. After the hike, we may stop for an early dinner at a local restaurant, and you are welcome to join us. 

Please note, the National Park Service now requires that all visitors have a park pass, and while the visitor center will be closed on New Year’s Day, a short-term one-week pass that is linked to your car license plate can be purchased ahead of time online at  https://www.nps.gov/indu/planyourvisit/fees.htm
