Slow Down, You’re Hiking with Kids

When you’re hiking with kids, time isn’t a limit—it’s a gift. Forget the finish line and embrace the detours, because kids? They want to see it all. The moss on the log, the ant parade, the “shiny rock” that’s clearly treasure. This is what makes hiking with little ones magical. They don’t care how many miles you’ve gone—they care that a squirrel just blinked at them. So give yourself margin. Add in extra time (and snacks) so they can touch, ask, splash, and stare. The trail might be short, but the memories? Giant. No need to rush—nature isn’t going anywhere. #Sports #Hiking #Family
