| Tom McGinnis, hiker dad. Tom is a dear friend who I met over a decade ago when I was planning an Appalachian Trail thru-hike. He’s a hiker dad who has brought his boys up to love and appreciate the outdoors, and he manages the Backpacking with Children group on Yahoo.com. Here are some great shots of him and the boys out hiking.
In this interview, we talk about the joys of being outdoors as a family, the logistics involved in getting children out backpacking and camping – including planning distance, pack weight, meals, and bathroom issues – plus how to make going hiking a celebration, something the kids look forward to.

If you love to hike, or would like to learn more about hiking, we’ll send you a variety of resources to help you get outdoors more. Your contact information will NOT be shared with anyone else. |
