DIFFICULTY LEVEL: EASY. The 1-mile round-trip hike has a gradual uphill and downhill, with a wide path that is jogging-stroller friendly. When we enter the stick fort forest, you will have to leave strollers behind since it's steep, narrow terrain. You should be able to carry you and your child's items for a short walk through the stick fort playland. 

TODDLER METER: GREEN (as in go). Great for toddlers.
