Before we grew our family, Steve and I knew we wanted to raise our kids engaging with the outdoors as much as possible.

OutsideWallaWalla.com is the result of a giant research project, and the kids have been along for the ride the entire time. Plenty of naps happened on a trail in the backpack carrier, and now they often outpace my hiking stride.

Walla Walla has a well-deserved reputation as a premier destination for some of the best wines in the world, but it is also a wonderful place to raise a family or perhaps explore for the first time.
