We do our research first to assess if the walk will be manageable for our girls.We also ensure that it’s a hike that is interesting for them – rivers, waterfalls, rocks, caves, wildlife, stairs, and rock art usually keep them occupied.
Make the snacks healthy with low sugar, high energy. We love to take a batch of our chocolate nut protein balls. You can have the sugary treat as a reward at the end if you want.
Everybody’s energy is better in the morning. And if you’re in a HOT location you’ll want to beat the heat of the day, or a place that tends to get afternoon thunderstorms you’ll want to avoid those too!
Try not to let it distract you too much from the experience, but these photos capturing those special moments of hiking with your children will stay with you forever.
