Bitter Cold Forces Cancellation Of Some 'First Day Hikes'

BOSTON (CBS/AP) - Due to the cold weather, a few of the "First Day Hikes" in Massachusetts have been cancelled.

Each year, the Department of Conservation and Recreation provides family-friendly guided hikes at seven state parks on New Year's Day.

But hikes at Carson Beach and Dorchester Heights and Nantasket Beach Reservation in Hull were cancelled Monday because of the bitter cold.

Several other tours have been modified.
