The freezing temperatures Saturday morning couldn't keep some hikers away from the trails at Hendrick Woods.
The group took on the trail despite the temperature being around only one degree. Â The New Year Hike is held annually and it is a chance for the group to unwind a little after the hectic holidays and catch a glimpse of animals as they made their way through the woods. Â The hike also helps the hikers start the new year right by being active.
"The emphasis of this hike is just to get out and walk - we don't really want to stopping and standing anyway since it's a little cold for that," said Dan Hodges, a naturalist with the Johnny Appleseed Parks District. "We're just out here to get our heart rate up, maybe work off a couple extra calories, and just have a nice time in the cold air."
The hike was on the South Trail, which is about half a mile in length.
