Oh, Amy! You are going to have so much fun! Andrew, Drake, and I go hiking all the time on the Appalachian Trail, 100s and 100s of miles on it! Are you taking Nebo? It may be too long for him to do at such an early age.

Take plenty of water!! Camelbacks work the best. Don't forget your First Aid Kit either. Wear sunblock and don't forget the top of your head. Coppertone makes this sunblock that you can spray onto your scalp. Insect repellant may be a good idea as well! Oh, and it is a good idea to have a cell phone in case of an emergency.

Have fun.
