[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get your kid a Fitbit or some kind of tracker to count their daily steps to work up their stamina to over 1 mile. 1 mile is not much at all and they can probably do more as long as they aren't too hot, thirsty or hungry.[/quote]

As a counterpoint, even if a kid is capable of walking more than a mile, it may not be desirable to venture much further out on a trail when it’s hot and/or unshaded and kids’ moods are unpredictable when traveling. I favor hikes when I know, worst case, I can grab them and haul ‘em back without exhausting myself. Especially when I am far from home. So 1 m makes sense as a practical option in general for small kids who don’t hike a ton.[/quote]

You can turn back at any point. You don't have to do the complete out and back trail. But 1/2 mile out and back will barely get you of the parking lot of some hikes. Just walk as far as everyone is able and turn back when necessary. You don't need to find a trail that is specifically 1 mile.[/quote]

Well yes of course ….[/quote]
