Tips for short visit with 1 yr old
My husband, our 1 yr old, and I are able to do a short visit (kind of a mini road trip) to the Grand Canyon and Zion NP in mid October. Neither of us have ever been to either place so we're excited just to get the chance to see the spaces. This won't be a trip where we're doing a lot of advanced hikes because we don't have the time and we're not prepared for that (my husband probably could but our baby and I certainly aren't) so that will have to be a separate future trip without baby. I've been trying to sift through all the information but it's become a bit overwhelming (does everything need some kind of permit or lottery system?!). So I'm looking for walkable paths (while having baby in a hiking carrier) and any tips for the driving parts or places to stay that you recommend. Will the Riverwalk in the narrows be too cold mid October? Do we need specialty gear?
We land in Las Vegas on a Friday (and then driving everywhere) and will be going back to the hotel in LV for a work conference on a Tuesday, so I know we're really squeezing a lot in but I don't know the next time we'll be able to go back out there.
Are there any short/mild hikes that are even do-able with a baby carrier around the Grand canyon?
Thank you for the help!
