Hiking trip almost ended in disaster

Took the family out to Pine Ridge trail on Saturday. Thought it would be an easy 2 mile walk but turns out the trail markers are terrible and we ended up going way further than planned. My 6 year old got tired about halfway and I had to carry him the rest of the way. Got back to the car after almost 4 hours. Everyone's feet hurt but the kids said it was the best day ever so I guess we're doing it again next weekend. Lesson learned - bring more water and snacks than you think you'll need.

Man, that sounds stressful with the family out there. My son's only 6 weeks so we haven't tackled anything like that yet, but this is good to know about that trail.

Dude, Pine Ridge got us too with those markers! Glad you all made it back safe. Next time we're definitely checking trail reviews first - learned that the hard way.
