With Micah recently potty training my wife and I were a little concerned with taking a hike of this length and weather Micah would be willing to go outside. All I can say is she is good to go as long as there is a smooth rock and rock to place her feet. Logs won't work, but hey I didn't get pee'd on so whatever works. We did not go to the summit for what would have been awesome views as it was a pretty clear day. On the way up to the turn off Micah fell asleep in the carrier and Sarrah got really sick. Not sure what it was, but she was out today from work as well. At the turn off for the summit she was concerned about making it through the hike so we took a break pushed some fluids and continued back to the truck. She felt better when the storms came and the breeze picked up, but she started getting sick in the car on the way home.
Micah was a good sport, but would have preferred walking more during the hike. Looking forward to coming back in the fall. This is one of the better hikes I've found for fall colors. We saw 7 horses and dodged 7 horses worth of crap on the trail, but saw no other hikers.
My pack was a little heavy at 10lbs + 30lb. toddler + 2 liters of water and changes of clothes just in case which were unnecessary.
Probably, the next few trips will be shorter to let Micah hike a little more and I think we are getting close to getting in some camping trips. They grow up so fast.  |
