Anyone else fail spectacularly at hiking with toddlers?

Took the 3 and 5 year old on what I thought was an easy 2 mile trail. Seemed fine on AllTrails. We made it maybe half a mile before the 3yo got tired and the 5yo stepped in a creek and soaked his shoe. Spent the next hour managing meltdowns, changing shoes, and carrying the younger one. My wife and I barely talked, just focused on survival mode. Beautiful scenery though I guess. Next time I'm sticking to 30 minute walks near the parking lot. Anyone else dealing with this phase?
