Hiking with Kids



You don’t need to pack your hiking gear away when you have kids! Spending time outdoors with your little ones is a great opportunity to make memories, develop a real connection to the natural world and get exercise and fresh air.



If you are looking for some help planning your next family adventure, Washington Trails Association has just what you need.
