1. PLACES / DRIFT CREEK FALLS
Wide, well groomed, kid friendly trail with a fun interpretive brochure that will educate you along the trail.  There is access to the creek at the bottom with good spots for kids to access/play and a nice spot for snacks and a break before heading back up the trail. Strollers can be used on most of the trail but the bridge is fairly narrow so bigger strollers may not fit. Also keep in mind you’ll be pushing it uphill 1.5 miles on the way back to the trail head, so I recommend using a carrier. I recommend having a full tank of gas before heading out as its a remote road after leaving Hwy 18. There is a fun covered bridge to enjoy on the drive up which can be viewed on a short side road a short distance from Hwy 18 from Otis. My youngest was able to hike this on his own at about 4 years old, so totally doable with little legs especially if you make time for a picnic at the falls before heading back up.
