I think this was my first time back up Heart Creek since the flood – and it was much more of a pile of rocks than it used to be.
It is the perfect hike for a herd of small children though. It’s fairly short, with constant entertainment. Bridges! Rocks! Water to throw rocks into! Rocks to throw other rocks at! Water to try and fall into! Things to climb!
To add to the excitement, we ran into a couple of guys with pretty rugged remote control cars. The boys were filled with joy and wonder, and chased about after them as they were driven along the trail, and back and forth the creek.
I don’t know how much they cost, and I’m guessing it’s kind of astronomical, but I could see them being a fairly useful investment if you were looking for more entertainment and motivation while out hiking.
We made it up to the end of the trail, had snacks on a bench and then herded the kids back in the other direction.
A fun little early season hike, and highly recommended for small people.
