Contributed by Katie Sack

Going on walks or hikes as a family offers a great way to spend time together, enjoy beautiful scenery and get some exercise. There are wonderful walking and hiking trails in the area that would be great for the whole family.

Check out these great tips for enjoying a day out with your family, walking or hiking:

Plan your Trip: Are you looking for an easy walk or a more difficult hike? What are the ages of the family member attending? What will you need to bring with you (stroller, backpack, diapers, etc)?
Where do you want to go: Once you have a plan of what your are looking for, where you can go will be easier. There are many options for walking and hiking in the Ithaca Area. National Geographic has a great website that lists trails, difficulty, activities, features, and who the trail would be good for - http://alltrails.com/us/new-york/ithaca.
Don’t forget the basis: Everyone with need suitable footwear and clothing. And it’s always a good idea to bring along a first aid kit, snacks, and water!
