Trail West

Helping Parents Brave the Outdoors with Toddlers in Tow

About Us

We’re Kate and Greg, parents to 3-year-old West and puppy River, living at 9,000 feet in a small Colorado mountain town. Our lives revolve around outdoor adventures, but finding advice on camping with a young baby that fit our lifestyle was harder than any mountain climb. So, we followed our intuition—covering thousands of miles on trails and road trips with West. We camped, traveled, and learned, but we could have used some guidance. Our biggest fear? Losing the ability to explore the wild and travel as a family. Want to know how we made it work?
