Glen Helen Nature Preserve is only 10 minutes from our house, but for some odd reason, we had never been there before, until last weekend. The park has tons of trails with lots of rivers and streams running through it. Whether it is by bridge or big rocks, we love crossing waterways, and Glen Helen gave us lots of opportunities to do just that. We hiked about 2 miles and did not have to carry Emery much at all. Two miles is a lot of walking for a not-quite-3-year-old. Both the kids had a great time and we plan on going back there soon!
