With some early Spring weather in March, we got a jump-start on our hiking season. I am so excited to discover new hikes in the area. And I am determined to make my kids hikers (I think I am getting there with Taryn and Corbin; I probably never will with Reed). I thought Reed was having a good time because I hadn't heard him complain and he was eager to keep walking when we had stopped on the trail. He even exclaimed, "Let's keep going, my legs aren't even tired." There was a glimmer of hope. But later that night when we were chatting about his day, I commented on his good attitude on the hike and wondered what had changed. Turns out, he still hates hiking "the moment he stepped on the trail" (Reed quoted), but he's learned that the faster he walks, the quicker it will be over. Clever but stubborn.
Can I seriously just live in the mountains??
The crew (minus MJ and Lincoln): Oliver, Reed, Taryn, Zane, Aaron, Corbin, Kai
Hike Review: Overall, this was a great hike for kids. It was beautiful and the perfect length and difficulty. However, we came across tons of mountain bikers. I heard there might be a trail in that same area for hikers only that I need to find.
