[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nine days in Utah visiting the big 5 National Parks: Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. All were awesome, but Capitol Reef blew my mind - did not know much about it before this trip, but it was hands down my favorite. 9 and 11 yos did a minimum amount of bickering, and a surprising amount of hiking with not too much complaining. So overall an "A" trip. Was surprised to see that we drove about 1,500 miles all in, including a few side trips and of course to and from the airport (LAS). [/quote]

This itinerary is on my bucket list.  I was planning it for the summer but I think my kids (7 and 4) are too young. But your post gives me hope!

After this post, I seriously think I am going to do Zion and Bryce next year - with kids ages 9, 7, and 4.  It will be an adventure!  I'd love to go to all 5 parks listed here, but I feel like with kids those ages it would be too much for our group in one trip if I can't take more than a week off work.[/quote]

I think you are going too soon.  4 is very young for the amount of walking.  My kids were 9 and 11 when we went.  I spent a couple months getting them in condition for walking (i.e. I had them walk in the summer sun for a few times a week -- carrying their backpacks with water for 40 min.) in Bryce and Zion.  I think you are going to be carrying the 4 yr old a lot.  It's a great trip (we did Bryce, North Rim Grand Canyon, Page AZ, and Zion in a week).  But, I think you are better off doing it when everyone is at least 8 yrs old.  [/quote]
