This isn’t one of the close in hikes that one would take with a toddler. This is up north of Boynton Pass Road like Vultre Arch. I saw a lot of ill prepared hikers in the south west.

Speaking of being unprepared, I had an acquaintance who was moving to Colorado. He was still on his journey when he passed a mountain trail and decided to take a hike with his dog. He was unaware that an early blizzard was on its way. His dog made it out OK. They found him in the spring.

Another one to avoid with small children is Tent Rocks in NM.

At the very end of the trail you end up atop a small area that slopes towards a pretty sheer drop on every side, and it’s covered in loose gravel so it’s treacherous.
