The trail doesn't have to end when the family grows. Backpacking with Children hands parents the expert playbook for turning a multi-day trip into a shared adventure instead of a logistical nightmare — real advice from people who've actually hauled kids up a switchback.
From gear and pacing to keeping morale (and blisters) in check, this Mountaineers Books guide covers what it actually takes to get a family into the backcountry and back out again with everyone still smiling. Plan the trip, make the memory.
