We went severla years ago and loved it. The trails can be challenging but well worth it. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for bringing up the subject. I haven't been there since I was a kid, probably at least 20 years ago. I'd really like to go again and take my DD.

IIRC, the trails can be a little challenging, especially with the inclines and coming back down - I think there are stair treads to help you along, so it's not as if you have to make your own footing. A beautiful piece of nature there, I'm going to research more today for vacation in a couple of weeks.

Word from the wise--if your DD is a preschooler, don't bring her! It's very strenuous, and if she gets tired and wants you to carry her, you'll be in trouble.

I went there with my sister and son when he was 3 yo and that's what happened. He got exhausted, and I wound up carrying him back down the trails. It was brutal, and my back was shot for a week after that.

Thanks for the info!

What are the trails like? Is the red trail really that extensive?
