TAG: Hiking with Kids

As a family of nature lovers from Beautiful British Columbia, Canada, we hike with our 4yo child on regular basis. We absolutely love it. Hence through this blog we want to educate our children and empower families to be hiking with their children, to be living a healthy & active lifestyle by spending as much time outdoors as possible with their babies.

Hiking with kids has never been easier! at least in BC :)

With this TAG we label our collection of specifically kids-friendly hikes. See also our other collections: stroller-friendly and wheelchair accessible hikes, and kids-friendly for experiences, attractions and hotels.

These are the hikes we’ve personally done with our son Cosmos, who is now 4 yo.

We confirm these hikes are easy trails & kids-friendly. If the trail is stroller/wheelchair-accessible, we’ll explicitly state it inside a blog post.

In addition we provide description of available amenities so you can plan your day. We know first-hand how hard it is to plan when you have to constantly think about breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, diapering, and a million other things.  Hope you find these tips useful :)

Leave us feedback, we always happy to hear from our readers!
