Spring Canyon (upper section) is a pretty but fairly typical Red Rock Canyon. An album is below:

| How old are the kids? What is your set up on a long hike with kids like that? Do you carry sleeping bags, food, etc. for them as well as your stuff? I would love to do a long hike with my kids but I dont think I could handle their stuff and mine. |

Kessler turned four a few months before the trip.

Yep. My wife used to carry our youngest and I would carry everything for two children, my wife and I. It's not so bad with just one kid.
Anyway Kessler's done many hikes and is has hiked 14 miles in a day (age four) now. Some of his other trips are in the album below:

Anyway, hang in there. With a little practice and detemination kids can enjoy some really great and long hikes. :2thumbs: |
