Looking for easy to moderate hikes that are memorable, scenic and fun? These are my favorite tried-and-true family-friendly hikes in Salida and Buena Vista, Colorado.

We first met at the trailhead for one of their favorite hikes. After we hiked a short distance, we returned to our cars and drove to Cottonwood Lake. As if by magic, we caught the last of the day’s rays of sunshine as clouds rolled into the mountains. It was beautiful! Their dogs had lots of personality and were fun to wrangle, too. It was so nice meeting and working with this local couple!

These returning clients embraced this concept and picked Mount Molly in New Durham, New Hampshire for their family adventure this fall. Becky hiked this mountain while pregnant and it was the first hike they did as a family after their little one was born. It has beautiful views of pristine Merrymeeting Lake.

We snapped a few photos by the lake then walked a nearby trail to find more beautiful scenery. Plus, their son such a great little adventurer!
