Product Description

Invaluable tips on hiking with kids, featuring 27 new hikes and an environmental and safety focus.

In this newly revised edition, Henderson guides families, seniors, and anyone looking for fun and easy outings to some of Oregon's best trails. Hikers can choose from scouting for whales at Cape Lookout; following the mysterious little Hobbit Trail; traversing the alpine meadows of Mount Hood; or wandering among Oregon's myriad forests, waterfalls, lakes, and lookouts.

With 100 easily accessible day hikes and overnighters and practical information on distance, difficulty, elevation, and best time to go, parents can quickly find great outings for their young adventurers. Hikes are designed with enough "rewards" along the way-caves, anthills, spectacular viewpoints-to keep enthusiasm running high, or to make even a partial day's outing a success.

Featuring 100 b&w photos and 110 maps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could also be called "Best Easy Hikes for Adults!", August 15, 2001

By	Volkert Volkersz (Snohomish, WA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I used this book in planning a recent trip to Oregon. Although my wife and I used to be avid hikers, we're not exactly in shape right now, so this book was an excellent guide to pick out a few short hikes in Crater Lake National Park and another near Bend.

Hikes can be located on a numbered map of western and central Oregon, or through the index in back. Each hike is rated by type of hike (day hike or backpack), difficulty, distance, terrain, high point, when it is hikable and contact information. The narrative gives a clear description of the hike, its popularity, what you'll see and how to get there. There is an explanation of the symbols used in the book, and the introduction discusses why you should hike with children, how to use the book, what to take, safety issues, good trail manners and trailhead fees.

So, whether you're a parent looking for some fun hikes for the children, or you're an adult looking to stretch your legs in the Oregon outdoors, this is an excellent guide to help you plan your outing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful resource, September 24, 2003

By	paddymid (Shangri-La) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful book for people who want to get their kids into hiking. Each hike contains a detailed description of the hike as well as information about age appropriateness, access to food and bathrooms, and points that will interest kids. Since a friend loaned us a copy of this book a couple of months ago, we have done 5 of the hikes with our 6-year-old, all with great success. I also loaned it to my sister when she visited Oregon this summer. She did not hike with children, but still found this to be a good resource for locating interesting hikes. Since we have to return our friend's copy, we are now purchasing a copy for ourselves. I highly recommend this book to anyone in Oregon (or who is visiting Oregon) who likes to hike, but especially to those who are trying to get their kids hooked on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where to go...the when and how, March 24, 2007

By	D. Bagnell "tangerine reader" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This takes all the guesswork out of spending quality time out-of-doors with ones family, an especially tricky affair when you're dealing with babies, kids, and dogs all of whom are restricted in different ways. A guidebook for parents who want to introduce their children to the natural world one easy, beautiful hike at a time.
(Includes a front-page map to find hikes based on their location, especially helpful if one is new to the area.)
