This was our first family hike to Turtle Mountain as a family of four!
Rose was just turning 6 months old and we decided that it was time to take her out on her first overnight hike. Hiking with babies may seem like a dangerous, scary or even an unfunny activity... Here is proof that you can hike with your baby and have an absolutely amazing time. We couldn't have asked for a better adventure together!
Our adventure had a later start than we would have liked, which led to about 30 minutes of hiking in the dark, but that had only added to the adventure. Headlamps on and braved the night! (I am very familiar with this trail day and night, so there was no concern) Everyone was in high spirits throughout the hike and I think we all knew that there was potential for the hike to be a difficult one, but that was very much not the case! Prepared for anything the hike might throw at us, we had successfully navigated any and all obstacles thrown our way. Once reaching the summit we had met two friendly brothers enjoying themselves and had graciously offered up their fire and camp chairs as they were turning in for the night. Rose as well had a date with her fancy new Morrison Outdoors sleeping suit which worked wonderfully throughout the night, so her and Kait had turned in as well. Meanwhile Rhett and I had enjoyed the fire while telling stories until we could barely keep our eyes open and set off to the tent for the night.
The following day we explored the summit over a coffee as Rhett slept in. We took our time, relaxed and shared a few delicious Peak Refuel Breakfast skillets and some snacks, before packing up and heading out around noon, making our way back down the mountain and out to the vehicle.
All in all, I would call that a complete success and I cannot wait until we get out for another family overnight hike!
I hope that this video serves as a trail guide for some and as motivation for all to get out and enjoy some mountains, hiking trails, and waterfalls that our province has to offer!
Happy Hiking🥾
