It can be difficult to hike with children of all ages, but toddlers represent a particular challenge. They are old enough where they want to do a lot of walking themselves but can’t go very far on their own legs yet, yet are getting too heavy to be carried more than 4 or 5 miles in a pack. At two and a half Callie can do about two miles on her own. But that includes a lot of stops to smell the flowers, pick up rocks and watch bugs making a two-mile hike about two hours in length. Over the course of the last six months, I’ve been tracking all our hikes in the All Trails app and wanted to share my favorite five we’ve done so far with Callie that she’s been able to do all on her own.
