[quote=Anonymous]We were backpacking with our son by the time he was 7. I get that we are outliers but hikes and National Parks are totally doable at your kids age. Be aware that many parks require lots of advanced planning if you want to stay in the lodge in the park. Also know that many of the lodges in the parks do not have pools or air conditioning or TVs, they are described as rustic. But they are so worth it. The hikes are pretty amazing and the sites are wonderful. You might want to wait for the kids to be a bit older for some of the parks. Glacier is awesome but the hikes to the glaciers are in the 10 mile range and up steep slopes. Just do some research ahead of time. Yellowstone is a great park for younger kids because the boardwalks are easily navigated and you don’t really need to do longer hikes into the backcountry to see the amazing sites. [/quote]
