Backpacking with Kids

Backpacking with Kids

Read the REI Expert Advice article, Backpacking with Kids. Here are a few key points:

Adjust your expectations. You’ll travel slower and over shorter distances, but done right (with compassion and patience) you can cultivate a love for outdoors adventure in your little ones.

Teach respect for the land. Encourage kids to stay on trails and not cut switchbacks. Ask them not to pick flowers, tag rocks or carve their names into tree trunks.
