Coming Soon: What Happens When you Backpack with a Three-Year-Old

It's time for Trailhead Kid to be endowed with his birthright.

So on Sunday, we will be taking our (almost) three-year-old on his first overnight backpacking trip. I have pored over the books and selected a very short, but scenic hike. We will be going to Thomas Lake in the Indian Heaven Wilderness.

Two adults in their 30s, one (almost) three-year-old, two dogs and a tent.

What could go wrong?
