Hiking with kids

Welcome to the Hiking with Kids Page. Here, we've put together a simple page offering guidance in the form of experiences of others (articles & short reports) and some suggestions for kid's outdoor gear thru our affilation with Backcountry.com.

Note the "Kid Stuff" section located on the right-side menu. You'll find interesting and useful information on hiking with children. Also on the right side are the banners listing sources specializing in Kid's Gear which provide a shopping solution for your children's hiking & camping equipment.

In addition, we've provided a kid's gear index below, in affiliation with Backcountry.com, where you can find kid's rain jackets, fleece jackets, kid's sleeping bags, kid's packs and so on.
