Want to share your love of the outdoors with your young children? Parent and hiking expert Susan Elderkin shows you how to help them experience nature for themselves in a fun and active way. Based on her new fully-revised, full color guidebook Best Hikes With Kids: Western Washington (Mountaineers Books), Susan reviews trail selection based on distance, difficulty level, and best season to go, suggests packing and planning tips, and gives advice on motivating little legs and making hiking fun. Susan shares her favorite Hikes within One Hour of Seattle, Best Weekend Getaways, and Favorite Trails for wildlife viewing, peak bagging, berry picking, waterfalls, and where to see wonderfully weird sights -- all throughout the Cascades and Olympics. For families with toddlers to middle grades and beyond this presentation will inspire memorable outings and family fun. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A period and book signing.
