COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – A couple in Colorado Springs has created a new hiking group that encourages families to bring their children along to help new parents find a community in the outdoors.
It’s called the Colorado Springs Parents hiking group. The two co-founders, Kati Lynn and Andrew Pannier, moved to Colorado last summer with their young daughter. The two said they had trouble finding hiking groups they could join and fit in with while bringing their two-year-old along.
The group meets one or two times a month at different spots in the Pikes Peak region. Kati-Lynn and Andrew said they vet each trail to make sure it’s safe for young children and brings water for participants.
The two use Facebook for all group communication.
