When thinking of an outdoor travel guide, you probably think about things like mountain biking, hiking or maybe even a rock climbing challenge. However, a local writer and soon-to-be mom of two thinks about it a little differently.

Chels Knorr is out with a new book, “Arizona Family Outdoor Adventure: An All-Ages Guide to Hiking, Camping, and Getting Outside.”

In it, she expands the idea of ‘the outdoors’ and says, you can enjoy it without being super athletic. Plus, you can bring your kids along, or your parents, or grandparents. 

The Show spoke with Knorr about her book.
