Suggestions for hikes with young family?

[Mike P.]

Going to the lower falls at Race Brook Falls would work. You could drive up on Mt. Washington Road & do Bear from near the AMC's Northwest Cabin.

Some short trails in Devil's Hopyard in SE CT.

Walks along the Farmington Canal or the M&M trail.

Great thread. Our plan is to hike as much as possible with the our son and dogs. I popped our son in the still unused Kelty Pack we got last spring. I need to do some fine tuning but that pack kicks ass.

There's some nice spots, Lemon Squeeze, that would be a bit tough for really young kids. Other then that, it's all carriage roads with some nice views of a great hotel, rock climbing and woods. You can see some pics here: http://killingtonaccessrd.com/cpg/th...s.php?album=84 . Where you see us on rocks is the lemon sqeeze area, you can avoid that an use carriage roads for everything, including the summit and nice views.
