IdleChild Review

I have 2 editions of this book. If you are a parental unit and wish to hike or mountaineer with your kids, this book is all you will ever need! It is incredibly well-written, with great details on every hike, including directions, difficulty level, and much more. You're hiking blind without this book! [...]

great book

this book helped us find great hikes for kids from the day it arrived. strongly recommended.

great read and hikes

It is the most accurate rated hiking book I've owned (I have alot) and most used I would also say its an accurate place to start if your out of shape the ratings are realistic you dont feel like your regretting it half way threw the hike You finish without feeling like the only thing you lost is a few pounds (not your mind or breath) your kids arent whinning and are ready for the next one!!!!

Best hiking with kids book ever.

I have purchased several copies of this book, everytime a new edition comes out actually. I can't believe I am the first to review it. If you are a parent and you are new to hiking with kids in the western Washington region this will probably be the only book you need. It is superbly written, with great details on the hike itself,knowing ahead of time what difficulty level you are facing is a must in my opinion, as well as directions on how to find the trail head, tips and tricks to hiking with your children in a way that you will all enjoy it and so much more. I highly reccomend this book, you will not be disapointed.
