Growing up in rural Ontario, I spent much time outdoors, exploring nature, igniting my curiosity and wonder. After moving to Alberta in 1999 and becoming a mother, I was excited to share these experiences with my children in the stunning Canadian Rockies.
Navigating trails with young kids posed challenges, often raising questions about safety and suitability. This inspired me to write my first book, Take a Hike with Your Children, in 2011.
It became a Canadian bestseller, selling over 10,000 copies, and pioneered the family hiking guide genre. The key to the success of this book was the unique trail rating system I developed based on children’s walking abilities. In addition, I identified stroller-friendly trails to make hiking accessible for families.
I hope you find as much enjoyment on the trails as I have. If you have any hiking-related questions, please feel free to reach out to me at Lynda@threemountainfamilyhikes.ca
