“Our children’s delight in the tiniest treasure helps us to open our eyes again wide.” Experienced hikers Kari Jones and Sachiko Kiyooka replenished their souls in nature for many years before their children were born. When they became mothers, they learned to adapt their ways of enjoying the outdoors so that taking pre-schoolers on their excursions would be a gift, not a burden. In this book, the first outdoor adventure guide written specifically for parents of young children, they share what they have learned. Their practical guide to child-friendly destinations covers six day hikes, four overnight trips, and five long weekends. It includes:

-information on planning and on packing gear and food

-ready-to-use checklists for easy organizing

-identification guide to plants, animals, and tidal life

-safety information geared specifically to children’s needs

- First Nations and natural history for each destination.

Kari Jones and Sachiko Kiyooka are veteran hikers and young mothers who are passionate about the outdoors and sharing the gifts of nature with their little ones. They have gone wilderness camping all over the world, but have a special love for the beauty of the west coast and all its treasures.
