A great wander in the shade of the forest, we hiked this on a sweltering 90+ degree day while camping at Newhalem. It is a great trail for the kiddos, just watch any wild little ones near some of the river access points. If you do the loop starting from the campground, it is pretty much flat. If you go to the Visitor Center, you will have a descent sized hill to hike up. Its not hard but in the heat it was not our favorite part. After the trail, stop in the air conditioned visitor center to become a junior ranger and climb on the giant slug!
This summer, my four-year-old son and I are hiking to raise money for Washington Trails Association. Please consider donating to one of our Hike-A-Thons at the below links. Thank you and Happy Hiking! #hikeathon
