Do you have that one hike that’s unforgettable?
Either everything was so awesome that you’re sure that the day will go down in history books as the most incredible hike ever.
Or everything is so miserable that you’re convinced that no matter what you can never have a hike quite that bad ever again.

Below is a list of three basic items you need to get out on a trail. This list is by no means all-inclusive, but it is a great starting ...
One of the coolest things about Hike it Baby is the community it creates. The families it brings together come from all walks of life – some are seasoned hikers, some are just hitting the trail for the first time – and all are welcome. Today we put the spotlight on Anka Trifan, a branch lead in Vancouver, Washington. Anka joined Hike it Baby in June 2014, and started the Vancouver branch with...
Last fall Beth Silva headed out for a Hike it Baby Portland hike but enroute she checked Facebook and the mama leading the hike was concerned about rain so she cancelled the hike. Beth and Ramona had their hearts set on a hike though and the weather didn't look bad, so she decided to hit up Lower Macleay anyway.
Sure enough it wasn't more than a sprinkle and as she hiked along this little sect...
