Amazing
trail
and
hike
to
the
Camelback
Summit!
We
took
our
7&9
yo
kids.
A
couple
of
things
to
know:
It
was
late
October
(not
the
same
as
July
weather!)
And
it
was
a
completely
beautiful
and
clear
day.
Great
hiking
conditions.
We
also
started
around
10am.
We
brought
almost
2L
water
for
each
person
(kids
included)
and
we
only
came
back
with
.5-1L
each.
In
summer
heat,
you
would
need
even
more.
We
packed
snacks.
We
have
one
kiddo
who
gets
crabby
when
she
is
hungry....
We
went
in
knowing
we
might
need
to
make
multiple
snack
stops.
And
we
did.
We
had
hiking
shoes
and
camel
packs
but
we
did
not
have
other
hiking
gear
like
gloves.
Those
are
nice
to
have
but
we
did
alright
without
them.
It
took
us
1hr
20
minutes
to
get
tot
the
top
and
about
1
hour
to
come
back
down
(needed
fewer
snack
stops
on
the
way
down).
Wear
sunscreen,
maybe
reapply
at
the
summit!
We
wore
hats/sunglasses
too
so
that
we
could
focus
on
the
climb
and
be
protected.
There
were
other
kids
on
the
trail
too.
It's
not
for
all
kids,
but
ours
have
hiked
plenty
of
trails
and
are
fairly
active
so
this
was
doable.
Our
7yo
did
ask
to
turn
around
a
few
times
but
she
was
so
stoked
to
get
to
the
top
when
we
stuck
it
out.
When
you
are
going
up
and
get
to
the
rail-assist
section
with
the
fence,
use
the
left
rail.
Do
not
try
the
middle
rail
with
kids.
That
was
the
only
time
I
questioned
our
decision
to
take
the
kids
on
the
hike.
It
was
busy
with
people
coming
down
so
we
thought
we'd
be
ok
on
the
middle
rail
which
is
significantly
harder
than
the
left
rail.
Going
up
you
have
the
right
of
way
but
feel
free
to
stop
and
catch
your
breath
😉
Catch
your
breath
and
enjoy
the
views
at
the
top!
Top

trail
marker

Last
1/3
is
rock
climbing/bouldering.
It's
not
a
trail!
