Lynn Canyon Park is the perfect location for a family hike. It is a great spot whether you go during the summer or the winter, and it makes a beautiful backdrop for photos. We go hiking there with the boys year-around and love it there.

During the winter be sure to wear appropriate shoes and warm clothes and allow plenty of time to return to the parking lot before it gets dark. Other than that the place is stunning and a hike there is great exercise for both kids and adults. Note that there are plenty of stairs, so the park isn’t stroller friendly,  be sure to take a baby carrier instead.
