Phelps lake, Moose ponds, Taggart lake, and Swan Lake/Heron pond trails are all fairly easy trails in Grand Teton.

Gearing up to tackle a portion of the Kalalau Trail along the Na Pali Coast of Kauai at the end of next month, then later hope to check out some of the Waimea Canyon park system.
1) The Fairy Falls to Mystic Falls Loop hike to two secluded awesome waterfalls. In the same area is the Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook. 2) The hike out to Lone Star Geyser is flat and if you have bicycles I believe you can ride them out and back. 3) Near Mammoth Springs, you have two options 3a) the trail to the top of Brunson Peak or 3b) the trail to Osprey Falls. Finally 4) by Canyon is the Mt Washburn trail. 5) Not really a hike, but you can spend an entire day in the Upper Geyser Basin (Old Faithful area) if you take your time and are patient you will see several of the big geysers erupt. Check at the visitor center for estimated times and plan your geyser viewing from there. Keep in mind that in Yellowstone you are in bear country and some or all you should be carrying bear spray (and know how to use it - so practice before).
I want to take my kids hiking with me on various trails around central Iowa. My youngest is 2 years old and around 35 pounds. Are there any recommendations for a hiking carrier/backpack to carry him around?
Haha. He's a tank. He almost wears the same size clothes as his four-year-old brother.
