National Park Adventure
Most of us have seen National Geographics Great Lodges of the Great Parks. A great guide for those who are seeking a National Park Adventure.
What if you have kids? Are all those parks child-friendly, as well?
Well, parents who want a Park Adventure with their kids can thank Child.com for giving us a guide which is equally informative.
Child magazine conducted interviews with experts to develop a survey that would help determine the most family-friendly national parks. The 41-question survey addressed issues such as park safety, child-appropriate hiking trails, Junior Ranger and other children's programs, fitness activities for families, the variety and availability of lodging, and interesting natural features like volcanoes or geysers. The survey was sent to the 56 national parks as defined by the National Park Service.
Included in this article are: National Park Safety Checklist and the 10 Best National Parks list. Check out the whole write-up here.

I love to camp with my children (3 and 1). we do it in groups or families. More sets of eyes and ears to keep the kids safe and playmates for the kids. I won’t camp any other way.

To have more people keeping an eye on the kids is a good idea. Less stressful, I suppose. Plus, it is always more fun the more people there are.
