From bestselling hiking guidebook author (and dad) Stephen Hui comes a collection of fun-filled hikes field-tested by parents and kids.

The best thing about hiking with kids is appreciating nature as a whole family. But hiking with kids can be challenging when little ones get tired, cold, or hungry. This book carefully chooses trails for kids of a variety of ages and skill levels, ranging in distance from 2km/1.2 miles (great for toddlers) to 12km/7.5 miles (for older or energetic kids). All are easy to get to so kids have more time to explore stops at suspension bridges, hollow trees, ghost towns, beaches, lakes, and vistas. Each route features a clear reference map and full-colour photos, plus:

  • a description of trail highlights
  • detailed directions to the trailhead
  • a snapshot of the best season, difficulty, length, high point, and elevation gain
  • a fun fact related to the plants, animals, or history of the trail

The author will donate a portion of royalties to Take a Hike Foundation.

  • Field-tested collection: Experienced kid friendly hikes with beautiful full-color photographs and descriptive maps, ensuring fun for the whole family without unexpected lengths, challenges, or disruptions.
  • Mindful and accessible to various abilities: Featuring shorter walks through mossy trails and dewy valleys, to rockier climbs with higher elevations.
  • Illustrated insert featuring 30 different types of plants, animals, and fungi: Promoting children’s learning while exploring nature outside.

  • Strong social media and online author presence: Hui has over 4K followers on Instagram, 7K followers on Twitter, 6K on Tiktok, actively blogs on his website 105hikes.com, consistently promotes and posts reels/ stories too.
