Hello All

I keep coming up with things to ask, sorry about that. You all are so helpful. We are a very adventurous family. We hike/run often. My son is five and capable of walking good distances. I am considering bringing his jogging stroller to go on the longer hikes. Do you know of any trails that would be good to take the stroller on. It is very rugged. Any I should avoid??

How is Johny Horn Trail? Any others you suggest? Thanks 😛

Most trails are generally not wide enough or smooth enough for the stroller. They are generally rocky and not very flat, but fine fore walking. Definitely bring to Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay and Honeymoon Bay (via Caneel Bay) - you park a good ways from the beach and its great for hauling the cooler!!. The trail to Leinster Bay is a maybe, but that is flat and very walkable for a 5 year old. Ditto Salt Pond.

When my youngest was 6 she was all over the trails and had a blast. Just start on the uphill portion first so that you can backtrack down hill!

Cheers, RickG
