If it weren't for our @hikeitbaby friends, I'd never get to explore fun new trails, at least not without all the whining! Hiking with friends is the secret to hiking with your kids! Dragon hiked 5.5 miles and 1400'+ elevation gain at THREE YRS OLD bc we hiked with his friends! Last year at 4 yrs old he hiked 6.5 miles bc we hiked with his friends. They keep each other happy and busy playing along the way. Sure you can bribe kids with snacks and treats but my kid is sugar sensitive and he can only be bribed for so long. Friends are key! We've found our hiking friends through our local #HikeitBabyUtahCounty and #hikeitbabysaltlakecity groups! #johnsonbowl #provo #utah #utahgram #Dragon #kidlife #momlife #rainbowbaby #dragonsandlephants #adventuresofadragon #hikeitbaby #outfamcommunity #hiking #OPTOUTSIDE #togetherwehike #hikeutah #hikemoresmilemore #stayoutsidemom #raiseawildchild #naturekids #inclusive #exploreutah #unlikelyhikers #ninjasinnature #letthemplay #gooutside #utahtrails Thank you @alirae29 for these beautiful photos! 📸 (at Provo, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMXWl3gXwt/?igshid=i891rogpl8yk

TODAY is my 4 year anniversary with Hike it Baby and I can't adequately explain how much HiB has changed my life completely. I was so lonely sitting at home and tired of being ignored or walked away from at parks. I just wanted to make some mom friends and socialize my son. I couldn't understand why it was so hard to do. I eventually searched something outdoors and found #hikeitbabysaltlakecity. I attended a hike at Silver Lake up at Brighton and was comforted to see everyone was nervous and just wanted to make new friends and hang out outside together. I felt at home immediately, mainly bc of the guidelines: everyone is always invited, no judgements allowed, we hike together, at the slowest hikers pace, stop for any reason and never leave a hiker behind. As a plus size mama who gained 85 lbs while on bed rest during pregnancy, this was the group for me and I wanted to get involved! I signed up to be a Branch Ambassador for SLC and started hosting hikes. After a few months I created #HikeitBabyUtahCounty with a friend since we both lived in Provo. I finally found my People, my Village to raise my son with. We not only hike together, but encourage and support each other outside of HiB. These moms are my sisters and their families have become our family! Four fun filled years later, life is an Adventure and I hope not only to inspire other families to get outside but to join us, meet some awesome friends not only for you but for your entire family! Stop lurking and come play with us outside! Special Thanks to Shanti Hodges @hikingmyway for creating this amazing organization that I'm so proud to be a part of! Because of you I became a "Stay Outside Mom" who lives a life of daily adventures! 😘 #Dragon #kidlife #momlife #rainbowbaby #unlikelyhikers #iwasinfertile #hikeitbaby #adventuresofadragon #dragonsandlephants  #adventuremom #longhairboysrule #boymom #exploreutah #HikeitBabyUtahCounty #hiker #OPTOUTSIDE #stayoutsidemom #fiestyfive #hikemoresmilemore #togetherwehike #wildling #outfamcommunity #kidfriendly #hiking #raiseawildchild #kidswhohike #utahlife #hikeitbabyslc (at Silver Lake Big Cottonwood Canyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDn3cygkba/?igshid=100og3berrs6c

Day two of Pineview Reservoir was so beautiful and the temps couldn't have been more perfect! I never would have thought to tent camp up north, at a lake in the fall but these crazy warm September temp's created this perfect weekend! #Dragon #kidlife #momlife #rainbowbaby #dreamcometrue #iwasinfertile #stillshocked #adventuresofadragon #dragonsandlephants  #adventuremom #mamasboy #boymom #exploreutah #roadtrippin #hikeitbabyfriends #hikeitbabyfamily #hikeitbabyutahcounty #hikeitbabysaltlakecity #OPTOUTSIDE #10kwomentrailproject #10kTrailblazer #hikemoresmilemore #togetherwehike #outfamcommunity #pineviewreservoir (at Anderson Cove Campground) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHZCaggoO6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iwseo9754sp1

The flowers are blooming on the hike to Bear Canyon Suspension Bridge in Sandy, Utah. Thanks @wobetxela for hosting such a beautiful 3.5 mile hike today. We made it to the bridge when I didn't think we would and then a #FOURnando hit and epic meltdown proceeded. But we made it back in one piece and he napped for the first time in forever so hopefully the Dragon fire is over and we can go back to cuddly love Dragon when he wakes up! #hikeitbabysaltlakecity #hikeitbabyutahcounty #bearcanyonsuspensionbridge #Dragon #kidlife #momlife #rainbowbaby #dreamcometrue #iwasinfertile #stillshocked #adventuresofadragon #dragonsandlephants  #adventuremom #mamasboy #exploreutah #hikeitbaby #10kwomentrailproject #10kTrailblazer #hikemoresmilemore #togetherwehike #outfamcommunity #unlikelyhikers #unlikelyhiker #hiking @hikeitbaby #ourvillage #friends #hikeitbabyfamily (at Sandy, Utah)
