Hi! One of our kids is interested in "backpacking" and so we are trying to find a Bay Area option. In my dreams, this would be a loop that we could do over two nights and three days, with about 2-3 miles to walk each day between the trailhead and the campsites, though I'm not even sure if that's the right distance, having never tried this with kids. But we're open to other options!
It would be great to experience a range of places (e.g. under trees, ridge/hilltop). It would be soon, i.e. in early April, so we'd need somewhere that might still have available weekday reservations.
Us parents have done a lot of backpacking, so we have most of the gear we would need. We have an 8yo and 4yo and think may end up carrying the younger one at least part of the way. (We have a kid carrier backpack.)
Other mild preferences: fewer neighbors, warmer / more sun, pit toilets, maybe not tables though(?).
I've found a few good website lists but would love your input! |
