Whether you live in a cold climate, in which the snow is just beginning to melt, or perhaps a warm locale, where the grass is green and also the trees are blossoming, April is excellent month to shake off the hiking boots striking the trail for some family
adventure.Hiking with kids is a great way to get them connected to the outdoors at a young age, but it can also be intimidating for the parent planner. Get the kids in your life out on the trail this summer, because part of preserving wilderness for future generations is teaching youth to appreciate and enjoy nature. Here are ten tips to help:

Keep it easy & feature-friendly: Friendly environment is so nice for adventure hiking trips. For at least the first few times, select a hike that isn’t too long or too strenuous – remember that for kids, the hike is about the experience. Picking a trail that has some features – be it a lake, stream, waterfall or something else will keep kids occupied and give them a goal to reach.

Time is your friend - so plan for lots of it : Kids are natural explorers and want to pick up and touch everything. This is one of the greatest things about hiking - there’s so much of the natural world for kids to discover and examine – make sure they have time to get their wilderness fill.

Respect Mother Nature: If you were hoping for a sunny weekend of hiking but hear there’s a storm approaching, postpone your trip. Nature does not care about ruining your weekend, it doesn’t care whether your get hurt or make it home. Remember that turning back isn’t admitting defeat, it’s respecting the wild world you so enjoy.
