The Keller family took a 2 week vacation back in the mid 90's. At that time our oldest was 12, our youngest 3. The trails in this book that we took were perfect for the whole family.
Devils Tower- the Tower Trail. Custer State Park - Sylvan Lake Shore Trail, Badger Clark Historical Trail. Wind Cave - Rankin Ridge Bear Butte & the Harney Peak Trail were pushing the limits of the youngest.
As day hikers, this book is very informative & we'll be using it on our next trip.
