Do a search on Caney Creek Falls. It's a shorter hike than what you just did.
Does anyone do any hiking?

Caney is a great one for kids.
The photo I included is from Hurricane Creek, I believe. We found it on a canoe trip.
we are heading over in december so if the weather is nice we will try to check it out.
I went to it from above on another trip and couldn't find a way off the bluff line. Only seeing it from above was a bummer. A trip to Parker Falls would be more fruitful with kids in tow. Sougdahoagdie (sp?) is another one that would be a good one for kids. I took my then 9 or 10 year old there a few years back and she loved it.
I would recommend a BASIC survival/first aid kit. Mine fits in a small pouch the size of an eyeglass case, weighs next to nothing, and contains: Swiss army knife, button compass, LED flashlight, Bic lighter, a few xtra strength aspirin, water purification tablets, vaseline impregnated cotton balls, a length of duct tape and a length of paracord, and emergency blanket.
I always try to prepare to spend the night out comfortably, even if I am going on a short day hike. You never know when a twisted knee or ankle, or heck getting off trail and getting lost could lead to disaster.

Wait a minute. My frame of reference is all off. You must carry around the world's largest eyeglasses case. Or maybe the blanket is suitable only for a lego figurine.
I do that too on an actual day hike. She is talking about walking in a park though.

Lotta good hikes up here on Monte Sano...Well, I decided to go hiking at a place that is just a few miles from my house. I went Saturday morning. It was fun. I’ll probably keep doing it when I have time. Luckily, I had hiking shoes already because I’d wear them at my old job during the winter since they are waterproof. I took the advice on the socks. I did take a backpack that I’ve had so I put some water and other things in there just in case. I ended up doing two miles, but it wasn’t all flat so it was good. I look forward to hiking Monte Sano on my break from school.
So what does one do when their hiking boots slip on rocks? Get new boots? Lol. I slipped twice today while hiking with my nephews, and my back is really sore from the falls. It was wet and slippery, so I don’t know if any pair would have been better.
