If you are just dropping in, don’t miss our great giveaways from earlier this week!
And today is a great prize package for those adventurous kids in your life, or adventurous families.
Hi-tec Kid’s Hiking boots of your choice + NiteIze BugLit Mini LED + Ducksday Kid’s Mittens!!
Each of these awesome products made our “In The Open” Gear Guide for 2014 and here is why:
Hi-Tec has a whole host of kid’s hiking shoes with all the performance and design of an adult shoe. My favorite part is the “Big Fit System” that essentially grows with your kid. You can find our full review here or look at all their kid’s hiking boots here.
The NiteIze Buglit continues to be a daily favorite, even though our backpacking gear is long stowed away for the winter. Not only does this little LED provide a decent range of illumination, but it is fun and versatile. Every kid should have one and every kid at heart. Here is a more detailed review along with other great products from NiteIze.
And lastly, Ducksday had an awesome pair of elbow mittens that are easy to get on but stay on! What parent or child doesn’t want that? You can read our full review here or check them out at Ollie and Stella Outfitters.

My husband and I really want to take our kids to the pacific northwest!
I agree with Lynette! The PNW!
This coming spring, we are taking ours to Yosemite! Can’t wait!!
Disney world
The West Coast Trail 🙂 (but not until they are older)
Gosh I’m not sure which one – I’d love to go to Alaska but also on the list is Nashville and although I’ve been to Yellowstone I’d love to take my kids too!
grand cayon
I want to take my kids to where their ancestors hiked! The Andes Mountains/Machu Picchu!!
That is so cool!
West Coast Trail – with Greta. 🙂
I’m not sure what the topic is…but i’d say either green or blue. And yes, I’m kinda scared, kinda excited.
Bishop, Ca i went there as a kid and want to take mine there to climb ski and fish!
Smith Rock, OR. But I have to wait until they can climb out on their own power!
We hope to visit the Salt Lake area this summer with our 1 year old and attempt a short back country route. I love your post on best family friend hikes near SL…so helpful as we plan our trip from Nebraska to Utah!
Let us know and maybe we can meet up! Or at least give you some beta we did a great backpacking kids trip last summer. Check it out under series: backpacking project 2013.
Awesome — I will check it out! I’d love to meet up for a hike. I really enjoy your blog:)
My husband and I have been talking about visiting Alaska and even considered moving there before we even thought of moving here to Wyoming. Although him and I had been to Yellowstone before, but the kids haven’t so we hope we can make it next year, so Alaska or Yellowstone it is. 😉
Colorado–great for outdoorsy types and good friends just moved there!
I would love to take them to honduras
Machu Picchu is on our bucket list.
The Grand Canyon! 🙂
and keeping my fingers crossed to win for some kids who I know that need this gear 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
i’d love to take my kids to new zealand.
Ah… me to. Maybe we can go together. Wouldn’t that be dysfunctional with all the kids!
I would like to take my kids to see the Grand Canyon.
to see the northern lights

We have yet to take the kids to Yosemite.
I would like to take my kids to YellowStone.
We’re taking a trip to Red River Gorge in the spring, but are hoping to make it to Denver, CO in early fall. The trip on top of our wishlist right now is to visit Redding, CA to visit friends, then go up to Eugene, OR and visit family. We’ve always longed to visit the Pacific Northwest.
Alaska! I have no good reason for that answer. But I want her to go somewhere she can’t drive to, like Homer. A place you can only access by plane, boat, or foot.
Kids are the right age to enjoy Yellowstone. Road trip!
The Grand Canyon
New Zealand! By bike would be best, but we’d ‘settle’ for a campervan.
We’re hoping to make it to Joshua tree soon!
Wow! Hard question. I have to say backpacking in Europe, hitting the Swiss Alps and the Pyrenees Mountains.
The Grand Canyon.
Africa – to the serengeti or masi mara preserves (and Kili when they’re older)…hopefully this comes sooner rather than later!
Yosemite.
Tennessee’s nation wide known caves
Appalachian trail
Utah!
I’m hoping to take my kids to Crater Lake next year.
Hawaii! I love all this snow but beautiful tropical hiking and incredible snorkeling have been calling me for a while now. But maybe I’ll just go with my husband until they can pay for themselves. 🙂
We’re working on taking the kids to Disneyland soon. But I would really like to travel all over with them. Iceland is on the top of my list. Local…hiking up some local canyons!
Anywhere! I just want to travel!!
Yellowstone!!!
I would love to take my kids to the Grand Canyon. Thanks.
I want to take my little guy to all 50 states. We made to 8 so far (he’s one) and we’ve already crossed off Alaska!
Fun! Alaska is a hard one for us lower 48 dwellers.
