Real Simple - June 28, 2005
Back in the day, you loved hiking, but lately the only communing with nature you do is during play dates in the park. Get back to the woods with your kids (and pry them away from SpongeBob for a while) with the Best Hikes with Children series.

Stuart Macdonald, publisher of AmericanTrails.org
Vivid trail descriptions and fascinating natural history will open the eyes of both children and adults.
