004: Hiking Through Every Stage: Babies to Tweens From Hawaii to the West Coast Trail with Kids

An inspiring chat with Meghan Oosterhof, a mom of five girls who has navigated adventuring with kids through every stage—babies, toddlers, tweens, and teenage years. Meghan shares her journey from early stroller adventures to multi-day backpacking trips. She chats about how she does certain age birthday trips, one being their trips to the West Coast Trail with their 13-year-old twins. We also dive into her family’s love for Hawaii (the Big Island) where they have done longer trips (2-4 months). Meghan shares how they made it work: with homeschooling, financially, packing, and why repeat trips are so special.  Places Meghan mentioned: Bragg Creek, Alberta Kananaskis, Alberta Gondola in Banff Sulphur Mountain Grizzly Peak Kananaskis Hot Springs Mist Mountain, Alberta Tent Ridge Kananaskis  West Coast Trail British Columbia backpacking trip Big Island Hawaii  Kīlauea Iki Crater, Hawaii  Gear Meghan mentioned:  A great stroller with BIG wheels  Bob Duallie stroller: https://amzn.to/4iknRXB Ergo Carrier: https://amzn.to/4faOMSM   If you want to connect with Meghan, come ask her questions in the Let’s Go Outside in the Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1984734118616209/  _____________________________________________________________ *Download my FREE high protein snacks ebook: http://besidethemountain.com/protein-ebook Try Danika’s healthy snack recipes: https://besidethemountain.com/ Connect with Danika on IG: https://www.instagram.com/besidethemountain/Email me: [email protected]
