[quote=Anonymous]8:32 agian. i also agree with the above that you just need a really good backpack carrier for the younger one. We had a Deuter that we loved. One thing i love about hiking with my kids is how proud they feel when they do a tough hike. This past summer we did some tough hikes in Banff. My 6 yr old was tired and wanted to stop at times, but he was so proud of himself when he got to the top of particularly hard uphill climb and realized he was the only kid up there and everyone commented on how awesome it was that he did that hike. I also find that kids will hike/walk in nature longer than they would walk around the neighborhood. My kids are kids and whine about walking around town, but on hikes it's a different story, there is so much to see and explore. We also pack lots of snack and candy bars to keep them motivated.
