Hey Kids—Give This Page to a Grown-UpHere are some great tips for hiking with kids!

1. Plan together. Make trip planning a family affair so that kids feel important and involved. Read up on your destination. Engage the kids in planning the food and packing their gear. Find some gear checklists and tips at REI.com/expertadvice/family.

2. Keep it easy. Remember, enjoyable destinations can be close to home. How far to go on a hike? A good rule of thumb is half a mile per year of a child’s age (for example, 2 miles for a 4-year-old).

3. Start early. Children tire more easily in the afternoon. Take advantage of their energy in the morning.

4. Take breaks. Plan on taking a lot of short breaks. Also, allow time for play, especially during a long outdoor activity.

5. Bring snacks. A well-timed snack can keep kids happy. It’s hard for them to enjoy a new activity when they’re tired, hungry or thirsty.

6. Focus on fun. Play games like counting bugs and flowers. Sit down and explore a small area: How many ants are in a square foot of forest?

7. Invite playmates. If possible, bring your kids’ friends along, too. When you travel with other families with children, everyone will appreciate the company of other playmates and adults.

8. Celebrate bloopers. Embrace the unexpected. A kid’s favorite memory of the trip might be when you all got drenched by a sudden downpour. Be willing to laugh when things go haywire!

9. Leave no trace. Share the info on the back cover with your kids.

1. Know before you go Pack what you might need, and learn about where you are going.

2. Choose the right path Be safe: Don’t wander off the main trail alone. Allow small trees and flowers to grow by not stepping on them.

3. Trash your trash “Pack it in, pack it out.”

4.Leavewhatyoufind So others can enjoy it and wildlife can use it.

5.Becarefulwithfire Be sure it’s OK to build a fire where you’re visiting. Make sure fires are completely out before you leave.

6. Respect wildlife Observe animals from a distance, and do not feed them.

7. Be kind to other visitors If you are quiet, everyone will observe more wildlife.

Hey Kids—Give This Page to a Grown-UpHere are some great tips for hiking with kids!

1. Plan together. Make trip planning a family affair so that kids feel important and involved. Read up on your destination. Engage the kids in planning the food and packing their gear. Find some gear checklists and tips at REI.com/expertadvice/family.

2. Keep it easy. Remember, enjoyable destinations can be close to home. How far to go on a hike? A good rule of thumb is half a mile per year of a child’s age (for example, 2 miles for a 4-year-old).

3. Start early. Children tire more easily in the afternoon. Take advantage of their energy in the morning.

4. Take breaks. Plan on taking a lot of short breaks. Also, allow time for play, especially during a long outdoor activity.

5. Bring snacks. A well-timed snack can keep kids happy. It’s hard for them to enjoy a new activity when they’re tired, hungry or thirsty.

6. Focus on fun. Play games like counting bugs and flowers. Sit down and explore a small area: How many ants are in a square foot of forest?

7. Invite playmates. If possible, bring your kids’ friends along, too. When you travel with other families with children, everyone will appreciate the company of other playmates and adults.

8. Celebrate bloopers. Embrace the unexpected. A kid’s favorite memory of the trip might be when you all got drenched by a sudden downpour. Be willing to laugh when things go haywire!
