Steve: My oldest just turned 5, but she'll put in a good 4-5 miles, even on tougher mountain terrain. The wife and I packing the other two on our back slows her down, I think!

I was considering Little Baldy as well as exploring the Crescent Meadows area a bit with them (Eagle Peak, Sugar Pine Trail, etc..). We've done Morro Rock in the past and I think I'll skip the StairMaster exercise with 30 pounds on my back wink The wife and I are planning to bag Alta Peak the next day sans kids (the benefit of having her parents an hour from the Park!). I love SEKI, but I go embarrassingly long stretches between trips (the last trip was probably 3 years ago for a Pear Lake day hike)!
