[quote=Anonymous]My parents used to take us camping and hiking all the time out West when we were little.  There are some really amazing national parks.  You have to be careful, though, and be prepared for unexpected changes in the weather in the mountains.  When I was little, we were hiking in the Rockies, everything was fine, and then it started sleeting on our way down and the trail was really slippery.  I don't remember it as scary, but my parents were terrified that we were going to slip off the trail and fall 30 feet on to rocks.  I wouldn't do a "multi-sport" multi-day adventure until the kids were older.  We did a rafting trip in Colorado when I was about 20, and someone in our raft was bounced out into the river (she was fine).  I would go somewhere where you could have tamer bits of different activities--horseback riding for a couple hours instead of a trip that involves riding horses to backcountry camping.  I think the age limits on more adventurous guided trips would rule out your kids for a while.  The Sierra Club has some guided trips for families--you could see if those would work for you.[/quote]
