So Gowhee App shares its list of the best hikes for kids in the U.S, to help you start planning your next outdoor adventures.
After a kid-friendly 3.5-mile hike (roundtrip), you will be able to discover a unique Donut shaped waterfall. Although picturesque from the top (better with small kids), you can also decide to venture down a little bit to the heart of the waterfall.
Once down there, you can get your feet wet and catch a glimpse of the fall from inside the cave. Stay on the trail until the fork and stay left until you reach the waterfall. This is one of the best hikes for kids that you can do all year long.
Take the kids on this family-friendly 9.6-mile trail and discover a glacier-filled lake. The slow grade trail is great for the whole family with extensive views and leads directly to the lake. The older kids can also enjoy the Park Ranger-led programs that are available at the visitor center.
To add some interest to the hike, families have reported seeing some mountain goats, sheep, and grizzlies… Perfect background for a nature scavenger hunt!

Hike like a real cowboy! I mean, there is nothing more kid-friendly than a cowboy trail with all kinds of cool artifacts and physical challenges like these ladders you can find along the path.

Need to bring the pooch along? What about this moderate, yet still accessible for kids and dogs, trail! The reward: A beautiful cascade in the heart of the South. With a 50-foot-high waterfall and some spectacular groves, it is a must-see!
However, this area of the best hikes for kids that are a little older and more experienced since the National Forest Service recommends using extra caution after wet weather, and deep ravines are to be expected along the way.
If you are looking for a kid-friendly camping trip, then look no further! This easy trail offers amazing views of the Arches National Park, in particular the sand formations called: Sand Dune Arch and Broken Arch.

The trail with the fall where the two creeks meet! It is one of the best hikes for kids and adults at the beginner level, thanks to the benches along the way that allow the whole family to rest.
We also love the ability to bring a stroller along since the 0.8-mile trail is paved and slowly inclined. But if you find your way to this kid-friendly trail, don’t forget to stop and take a look at the Alpine town of Helen!
A hike in the Great Smoky Mountains! This 2.6-mile trail leads to a beautiful waterfall and is great for experienced little hikers. Pets and strollers will not be part of the trip but “hiking the Smokeys” is a reward in itself for the whole family.
