1. PLACES / BANDERSNATCH TRAIL
This is a challenging hike with a baby on your back. Recommended for strong hikers ages 4+. Your legs will burn, but you will be rewarded with amazing views of Mt. Ashland. There are two loop options which are both about three miles. You can take the Snark trail to loop to the right or you can follow all the Bandersnatch signs and connect into the Ashland Loop road and have a short pavement walk back to your car.
