These hikes are chosen for kid appeal: they feature things to do and see along the way, whether it be a waterfall slide, a tadpole pool, or a mysterious cave lined with petroglyphs.

This review is from: Best Hikes With Children in New Mexico (Paperback)

My family loves this reference tool! We plan trips for our 5 children using this book as a guide. Even our baby can be included because the book rates the difficulty and distance of the various sites. We wouldn't hike without it!

This is a great resource. It is very accurate when it rates difficulty and terrain of a hike. We have found it to be right on target. It also points out some interesting sites you might see on the hike, such as large pieces of obsidian, interesting plants, etc.
