RentonDad Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Will be camping here soon with kids. I would like to know if anyone can tell me the distance (one way) to the suspension bridge and the relative elevation gain? I can't find this information on any of the NPS.GOV based .PDF documents or web pages. I have read information that this is a hike easily doable by young kids but we will have our two year old with us and will bring our baby backpack if necessary. -RentonDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykilo Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Assuming my memory serves correctly, the distance is 2.9 miles and the elevation gain is approximately 1,000.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RentonDad Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 http://www.nps.gov/mora/trail/carbon.htm Very good. Thank you. I've got a couple of NPS produced park maps and had been all over the nps.gov/mora web site but must have passed completely over this. I love this website. You folks have been a great help. I hope to be able to return the favor. -RentonDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 With the exception of a few remnant patches, the snow doesn't begin until about a mile past Dick Creek, just before Moraine Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
