Hiking 101

Most children naturally love the outdoors. They are amazed by the simple things, and if we can rediscover the outdoors through their eyes, there is much to be learned during family hiking. Safety, hiking gear, and making sure that the children's basic needs are taken care of is at the top of the priority list, when kids are with you on the hike. Concerning hiking safety, be sure to have an Emergency Kit with you at all times and be prepared. Concerning hiking gear - we have found that simple is best - comfortable hiking shoes and clothes, along with a backpack with the essentials.

Of course, hiking, as with any outdoor adventure, can expose you to danger. You must be aware of your abilities and the abilities of your children. Please be careful and understand that this site discusses an overview of family hiking, not an exhaustive guide to the great outdoors. Basic first aid knowledge, close supervision of your children at all times, and using good judgment can mitigate some of these risks.
