The Hiker Mama lives north of Seattle, and these hikes reflect the places we’ve gone. Most of the time I try to drive less than two hours to a trailhead. As my children grow and we explore more areas, you can expect this section to evolve. If you have a favorite kid hike that is not on here, email me and I’ll check it out!
