Reviews
“This handbook is full of ideas for planning family hiking and finding opportunities to experience nature together. It’s specifically aimed at kid friendly areas with practical suggestions for planning, choosing, and executing trips. All the hikes are under 5 miles in length and the authors have included fun activities like scavenger hunts along the way. The general introductory chapters contain numbered key tables with both names and features of each hike. Readers can look for general locations, plan an itinerary, or choose destinations based on geographical or historical features. 5 stars”

“This is a great book! The pages are packed with photos to engage kids and each hike has a nice map and enticing descriptions of what you will encounter. I’ve been on many of these hikes before having kids and I can attest to this being a great collection of hikes for anyone not just kids. It was fun to relive old memories and think about someday making new ones.”
