Baby on Board
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 1:52 pm
Hello.
So I recently decided to try and join the Catskill 35er club. I snowshoed Slide last February and hiked Twin and Indian Head via portion of Devil's Path this summer. Getting to the mountains on weekends is tricky since i have a a 10 month old but my solution is that I bought one of those Osprey hiking backpacks that I can strap him into for this spring and summer. My question is which mountains would be the best to hike with a baby on my back so no bushwacking or scrambling allowed. It looks like Hunter and Balsam Lake Mountain have straight forward trails they seem like good options. Do any of you with more experience in area have other suggestions?
