Backroads introduced its new selection of trips for 2016 responding to a growing demand for family programs. The company is tripling its selections for families!  Some of the new trips for families with children and teens include biking in the Canadian Rockies, the Italian Dolomites and Palm Springs and multi-sport trips in Argentina’s Lake District, Spain’s Basque Country, Alaska and even in the Caribbean on St. Kitts and Nevis.  New Family Breakaway trips, created for families with older teens and young adults, include Croatia and Montenegro, England, Patagonia, Peru and New Zealand.  A Rhine River cruise has also been designated as a Family Breakaway itinerary.  Backroads trips are ideal for active families and even for multi-generational families (as there are varying route and activity options) and for families who really want to get immersed in a region.  Trips are generally 5-6 days leaving plenty of time before or after to explore in more traditional ways or just relax.  Let The Family Traveler help put together the perfect trip that meets your family’s needs.
