This is Part Two of our Leave No Trace Series: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
I live in Boulder, Colorado. Weather one day could be 70 degrees and 15 inches of snow the next. This makes for some pretty inconsistent trail conditions. I was just recently on a hike with some friends and their kids. The trail was a mix of packed snow and ice, mud pits and dry cracked dirt. I had my hiking ...
Have you been hesitant to get on trail with Hike it Baby? Maybe you've been lurking in the Facebook group or checking the calendar everyday and you just haven't been sure about whether you could keep up or if the group is right for you?
Recently KEEN footwear shot this little video with our local group in Portland in Tryon Creek state park. This hike is a good example of a general all around ...
What could be better than leading a fun hike for Hike it Baby in April (other than puddle-stomping and the spring flowers?)? How about being automatically entered to win one of three exciting prizes! It's that easy, all you have to do is submit your hike to the calendar and you are entered to win a monthly prize. This month we are featuring prizes from the Okee Dokee Brothers, MTI, and Sun Prot...
All around the world, Hike it Baby families are getting outside and hiking trails because of the incredible volunteers who Lead Hikes for their group! We appreciate this so much that we automatically enter every person who submits a hike to the website calendar in a prize drawing at the end of each month. Just by the simple act of submitting a hike, you are motivating other families to get outs...
I’m a new father (my little girl is about 1.5 years old now) and I’ve always been a healthy/active/outdoors-loving kind of a person. When we had our daughter, my wife found a new group, Hike it Baby, whose sole purpose was to encourage and help facilitate families to get outside and enjoy nature, and that sounded right up my alley. As simple as it sounds, I’ve found it to be a lot more than jus...
You may look at the title of this blog and think, "Oh great...yet another post about getting in touch with the outdoors, listening to the great call of the wind or the sound of a waterfall." Yes, those things are all beautiful and inspiring, but this particular call of nature refers to those dreaded moments that every outdoors man/woman faces when their bodies suddenly alert them (and usually ...
I know summer is still far away but I am getting excited. It's coming, right? The other day on our walk in the woods I saw some crocus poking their green stalks out of the ground. That's the first sign!
The second sign is that the campgrounds just opened their floodgates for booking and it's time to plan for July. What? Plan camping for July in January? Yes, that's right. Did you know that Res...

I grew up living on the outskirts of town on top of a mountain, where the nearest neighbor was a least a half mile away. In the 1980's, there were not enough families living on our road to justify the cable company running cable lines up to our house. I missed out on Punky Brewster, Alf, Mr. Belvedere, Silver Spoons, all the shows my school friends raved about. Instead, we got one channel with ...
