Are you tired of seeing your family staring at screens? It seems like if it’s not the phone, it’s the computer or the TV. It gets old! If you are like me and you are looking for a way to get your family more active and exploring the world around them, I have a suggestion. Take them hiking!! That’s right, I said hiking! No, it doesn’t have to be rock climbing, mountain scaling, difficult. You can start out with a nature preserve mild trail and go from there. Some “hiking” trails are nothing more than walking paths made from dirt. Many are wheelchair and stroller accessible, but man oh man do you get to see some beautiful stuff!
If you need further encouraging, here are 4 reasons to take your family hiking this Summer:
It’s great exercise. You may think you need a gym membership, but really you just need to get active and hiking is a great way to do that. Add in a hiking pack and WOW! You will be burning calories fast! Take it slow at first though, just remember, slow and steady wins the race! An inexperienced hiker should never attempt a difficult hike. Look up your trails online and stick the ones labeled easy.
It’s educational. Many hiking trails include signs and info packets explaining the significance of the trail and things (plant life, animals, etc.) along the trail. It is a great opportunity to learn while you explore.
It’s a great way to make memories. I love to live by the motto, “making memories is better than collecting things” I would absolutely always choose an adventurous hike over a dinner or a trip to the mall. I am trying to instill this love for experiences in my children as well.
It’s cheap. Yep, sometimes it costs a couple of bucks to park and visit the trails, but oftentimes it is absolutely free! Yes I said FREE! Does it get much better than beautiful views, an awesome workout and no hit to the wallet? I don’t think so!
If you’re looking to get away and explore the great outdoors, a National Park is a great place to do it! This weekend and next weekends (April 15 – 16 and April 22 – 23) are both National Park free entrance days. That means you can pack up the fam and get into National Parks that normally charge a fee for free!

It’s officially hiking season. There are so many great hiking trails around my area.
Have you found any great hiking trails where you live? All you need to do is do a quick Google search and you could be on your way. Another way to find out great where you can go hiking it to ask your friends. You can ask them on Facebook and you will probably get lots of ideas of where to go hiking.
One thing I love about hiking is that you can make it as easy or as difficult as you choose. There are trails that I take my kids on and there are also hiking trails that are more challenging that I go on with my friends or my husband. We have some fun trails around us where we can even play in the water a bit.
I also love getting fresh air and seeing beautiful scenes. Even if you go hiking on the same trail every week, you will see something different each time. The season, cloud cover, temperature, and time of day make the landscape look different daily.
Because we have a lot of rattlesnakes in our area I always stick to trails where I can see where I am stepping, there’s no guarantee that you won’t still run into a snake, but they are easier to spot and avoid.
There are a few things that you will want to make sure to have with you when you are hiking. Just take a backpack with you. Even if you don’t think you will got lost or stranded you need to be prepared for that when you are hiking
I highly suggest when you go hiking you tell someone where you are going. In case you run into a problem you want people to know where to go find you. I have a friend that I call before I go hiking to tell her where I am going and then I call her when I am done with the hike, then she knows I am safe.
Get out there and unplug and enjoy the Earth!
