(Deming) – New Mexico State Parks officials are hoping residents will kick-off their New Year’s resolution of health and happiness by participating in First Day Hikes.
On January 1st, New Mexico State Parks across the state are sponsoring free, guided hikes as part of America's State Parks First Day Hikes.
