This book is full of everything someone new to hiking with children needs to know, such as essential gear to take, how to find kid-friendly hiking trails, how to avoid getting lost, and how to keep kids entertained and moving on the trail.

Mark Danenhauer uses his personal experiences taking his kids hiking throughout the world to give practical and helpful tips to make it fun for the whole family. He began taking his children hiking in the Rockies as infants. Now as 8 and 10-year-olds they are taking multi-day hikes in Nepal and New Zealand.

Hiking as a family can be an incredibly rewarding and bonding experience. However, that doesn’t mean that it is always easy and joyous.
