Please keep in mind: when you’re out with kids, everything takes a little longer. Slow down and enjoy the small moments along the way—discover hidden treasures by the trail, cool your feet in a mountain stream, and recharge with plenty of snack and drink breaks. Make sure your kids wear sturdy, comfortable shoes with good traction. Your backpack should also include rain gear, a sun hat and sunscreen, plus a small first-aid kit with bandages.
