I keep asking myself the same question: "Why on earth am I taking my toddler on a trail?" It can be daunting to get out in nature with small kids. After all, both kids and nature are unpredictable. But don't give up your passion for the outdoors! If you previously had no interest in hiking or biking, having little kids might be a great reason to try something new. Nature is proven to be good for adults and children.
San Jose and the surrounding Bay Area is a great place to live outdoors on the trails with your kids. This resource is for families with small children to find a hiking or biking adventure that is well suited for children. Check out the stroller hikes, non-stroller hikes or bike adventures below!
