Hiking with kids can be a test of patience and sanity. Tamara York, author of 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Cincinnati, shares with us some tried and true tips for beginners hiking with kids and some favorite kid friendly hiking spots in the Greater Cincinnati and Tristate area.

Tamara York is the author of the popular 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Cincinnati guidebook. When she isn’t busy promoting her book, you can usually find her in the woods or in a creek bed looking for fossils. She grew up exploring the woods near her grandparent’s farm outside Connersville, Indiana. Her passion for the outdoors and “goofing off” brought her to Purdue University, where she graduated with a B.S. in Wildlife Management. She and her husband have climbed Mt. Katahdin in Baxter State Park, Maine, and enjoy hiking with their daughters in state parks, wildlife areas, and forests in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Tamara is a trained and seasoned naturalist with more than 17 years of field experience and has worked with the Indiana and Ohio Department of Natural Resources before starting her business, LandShark Communications, which provides marketing and public relations expertise for businesses in the outdoor recreation industry.
