Plan a close destination and a less demanding environment than if you were hiking without kids. Avoid extreme weather.

]]> 103195 2 0 Tip Be prepared to change your plans during the hike. Experiences that might be tolerable to you, like bad weather or dense mosquitoes, quickly become deal-breakers for kids

]]> 103196 3 0 Step Take into account special needs of infants Dress infants extra warmly in cold weather. Because you will be carrying them, they won’t generate body heat through physical exertion. In hot weather, be sure to keep them cool.

]]> 103197 4 0 Step Keep children hydrated and well nourished Make sure children are kept well-hydrated and eat regularly.

]]> 103198 5 0 Step Watch for sunburn, overheating, and hypothermia Be alert for signs of sunburn, overheating, rashes, and hypothermia. Don’t forget to protect kids with sunblock.

]]> 103199 6 0 Tip Pack an extra set of dry clothes for your kids in case they get wet.

]]> 103200 7 0 Step Keep the kids away from dangerous areas Exercise good sense when hiking with kids. Keep them away from potentially dangerous terrain, such as rocky riverbanks and cliffs.

]]> 103201 8 0 Step Make sure the kids have proper footwear Make sure the kids have proper footwear. Remember that their feet are growing rapidly, and a pair of shoes that fit on the last hike may already be too small on this one.

]]> 103202 9 0 Step Have an emergency plan Have a plan for the entire family in case any one gets lost. Equip the kids with fanny packs that include a jacket, snack, drink, and emergency whistle.

]]> 103203 10 0 Fact The U.S. Surgeon General’s Office has recommended that families plan activities that provide everyone with exercise and enjoyment.
