A Message from Family Trails
One of the things we've heard over and over from the Trails community is how every adventure leads to something new: a new memory, a new learning opportunity, some new inspiration for the next great adventure.

Koch Family: Wildlife Refuge
I try to take my children outdoors every day. I am a stay-at-home mom of 20-month-old identical twin girls and a four-year-old boy. We love getting out in nature, especially here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. But let's be honest, I can lose my mind being cooped up in a house all day with three little kids!

Daley Family: Moving Together
I was devastated when I learned that we would be moving from a small, French village near Paris to Washington back in the U.S. I was happy for the opportunities we had ahead of us, but had a tough time saying goodbye to a country I had grown to love during our time there.
“Hopefully, by teaching my children, they will carry this love and knowledge on...”

Schlosser Family: Summer Living
Hello! We're the Schlosser family from Denver, Colorado -- Adam, Gina, Mia (age 5), and Millie (age 3). We really love exploring the outdoors and learning new things. As the mom, I'm usually the one photographing our adventures and documenting them in our family journal.

Montgomery Family: The Perfect Labor Day
Our family took a day trip to Santa Cruz for Labor Day. We wanted to get back to nature, but it was also an excuse for me to catch up with one of my closest friends I hadn't seen in years. We had planned on heading out early so that we could go for a hike before hitting the beach, but we all had a hard time getting up and ended up leaving later than planned.

Cortes Family: Just Keep Walking
Have you ever seen Finding Nemo? Silly question, I know. Do you know that part in the movie where Dory keeps saying, "Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!" over and over? I hope so. Switch out swimming with walking and that is our hiking motto.
