How far is crowders rock where people take their pictures? Is it a far hike or is it very close to the parking lot? I have a baby. Would that be doable?

Long, strenuous hike to the top. Can be done with a baby if you have a backpack carrier. Cannot be done with a stroller.

I would say not doable with a baby. A little over 2 miles to the top with very steep and rough terrain about the last 200 yards up to the rock. Plus a small climb up onto the pinnacle.

Probably not doable with a baby. It is about 2 miles each way and some steepness

If you're active with baby on the reg and comfy with the backpack or wrap method of carrying, absolutely! There are different trails from beginners to very hard, know your limitations, rest as you need it And be safe. I have had all 3 of mine wrapped and Daddio carried supplies, ill harder. With the wee ones BC their needs but if ya keep it simply and. Your comfy in being active with baby, ITS DOABLE, The negative remarks are just folks with differed comfort levels. Really people, back in the day when the world was developing, what do you think moms did!!!?? Moms with wee ones didn't get left behind. They weren't isolated. And forgotten. We've become lazy as a culture

I did it with a baby but I’m also an experienced hiker

The trail at Linwood is about a mile. Steep with part terrain and steps. Is doable with a baby as long as you have baby carrier. You don't have to climb over rocks or anything. Yes, it's close to parking.

Roughly 2 1/2 hours up the turnback trail from the parking lot.
