J-tree boulder good for kids?
|
Heading down to J-tree from Canada next week! Wondering if anyone can recommend a good area to bring a 6 and 3 three old, maybe even with some easy boulders for them as well? They're pretty used to messing around on my home wall... |

I'll second Lockers recommendation. I have taken youngsters to Morbid Mound in by the Group Campsite Rd and they had a fun time. There is a 5.1 staircase that may keep your 3 year old from getting frustrated. Indian Cove is very family friendly. Lots of restrooms, almost no traffic, and it won't be raging with tour buses. |

Thanks guys! |

Honestly, the entire park is great for that. But I'll third what the others said about Indian Cove. I was there recently with a big group of kids and it was fantastic for that. And the weather will be warmer than the high parts of the park. |

I'm wondering about also finding a spot with some V5 and under problems as well as fun for kids?Unfortunately, I haven't really bouldered much at J-tree, but overall, the park is very kid friendly and I've had no problems taking very young kids to many areas of the park. IMO, The biggest hazard for kids would be the cacti. Have fun! |

The six year old should be great - my daughter was raised scrambling around JT and overall super safe place to be. Ideal really with it's large flat and sandy nature and ability to see distances (as t hey wonder and scramble off) The 3 year old, that may be a tricker as attention spans fade and long/cool nights . Suppose much of that depends on the children and their experience. |

Yes. And the occasional rattlesnake. |
