Hiking with kids
1. Dress the child properly! A breathable base layer, a warming mid-layer, and a wind- and waterproof shell. Don’t forget sturdy, waterproof shoes—no one likes wet feet.
2. Take your time! Let the kids explore and enjoy nature as you walk. Plan to cover half the distance in the same amount of time as you would on your own.
3. Play together! A great way to help kids forget about time and distance is to play games, sing songs, or solve riddles. Can you spot any animals or plants?
