Plan Your Weekend: Take a hike

Ok; guys this is a no-brainer. Kids love the outdoors and its good exercise, so, go for a hike. Be sure to bring the right gear, depending on how far you decide to trek. For those who have younger kids (or are newbies) make it a short trip, .5-1.5 mi. Bring lots of water and some snacks to keep energized. Add a little something extra and bring binoculars along with a local animal guide to watch for birds and critters.

If you are not sure where to go; check with your local Parks and Recreation dept. or google state parks. You can also look at REI’s website here. The site lists favorite hikes and have a program where your kids can earn a free water bottle.
