jawon Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Friends and I are going on an overnight car camping trip with our kids ranging in age from 16 months to 3 years. I'm hoping we can find a kid-friendly camping area that also has some very nearby bouldering. Doesn't have to be much, just wanna touch some rock without having to bail on the kids! Any suggested areas within 3 hours of seattle? Quote
RuMR Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 hey, shoot me a pm sometime...i drag my kids all over the place! Quote
Thudman Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Um, 11worth? Icicle canyon bouldering at Barney's rubble or Forestland (same parking). Tumwater Canyon: swiftwater picnic area. the previous three have almost zero approach, while the family can sit at picnic tables and watch you boulder at swiftwater. If you're up for a fifteen minute walk with the group, the Beach boulders on the far side of the Wenatchee river are a great hangout with a beautiful river beach nearby once the water level drops.

G-spotter Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Is there any bouldering at Tieton? Cause kids love snakes, right Quote

kix Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I just cant ride my bike or watch cartoons. but SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!!! so thats cool. Quote
kenp Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 The Icicle & Wenatchee rivers are still way high, not much yet in ways of sandy beaches! Head to Icicle, there is many family friendly areas to camp and it's warm there. Quote
jawon Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 Thanks. Any suggestions other than leavenworth? Been there, done that. Would prefer to avoid the summer crowds. Quote
