Kid-Friendly Hiking Tip: It's the Journey, Not the Mileage

When hiking with kids, think fun, not fast. Skip the summit-chasing and opt for a trail that’s short, mellow, and full of wonder. A waterfall, a stream, a log to balance on—those little “wow” moments are what keep kids engaged. Don’t stress if you don’t make it to the end. If your kiddo wants to crouch down and inspect every bug and leaf along the way? That is the hike. Let them lead, let them wonder, and embrace the slower pace. The trail will be there next weekend—and so will the magic. What's your experience while hike with your kiddo? #Sports #Hiking #Family
