So both Dan and I had been to the National Park before, but to have it count on our quest, the kids have to be involved. We went back (yes, a third time) and hiked the most kid friendly one (1.5 hours) because it was the ONLY hike left to choose from. Natalie is our trooper. When back in AZ (she was about 3-5) we would hike BIG TIME, sometimes ALL day long, and she would hike EVERY step of the way. Everett we would carry in the Ergo. But Natalie would walk/hike it all. I remember hiking a Natural Bridges hike at Capital Reef NP and a group of older people were using their hiking/walking sticks and were laughing at the fact that this little girl was hiking along side us. She really is great at all the outdoor things we do. Anyway, we plan on going back to Mammoth Cave next time we are in KY and do MUCH longer/better hike. Everett slept in the car (Danny and Debbie stayed with him--Danny just had foot surgery and was in no condition to brave the deep).
