(Iowa) -- A relatively new annual tradition in Iowa returns on New Year's Day.

Several state parks will host First Day Hikes.

It's part of a national push to get people outside on the first day of the year.

More than 40 Iowa state parks will host either a guided group hike, or offer a suggested self-guided hike.

A list of all the parks participating can be found at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources website by clicking here.
