I have a four year old and a six year old. Would the easy hike be ok for them?

Yes, actually very easy hiking, but the trail is long for little ones, take a snack and drinks but take a potty break before you get on the trail. The last part of the trail up the peak is difficult and has 1 or 2 dangerous spots. I suggest a 1:1 ratio adult to child to ensure their safety.

Me and my family went last year. Me and my 11yr old son only made it half way. But my 18yr daughter, 15yr daughter and huaband made it to the caves at the top of trail and my 18yr has asthma. It would probably be good for them. Just take it slow and bring lots of water. Also had a paranormal experience. Herd drums beating. Like 4/5 times in a row. No one else heard it. Even my son sitting right next to me. Lol but it is beautiful.

Good hike for kids. Everything Anthony Flores said was good advice. Snacks and potty breaks before starting.

There were kids younger than 4 years old out there and I think most of them hiked until one or two challenging steps popped up. But all of the kids seemed to thoroughly enjoy the hike!

Not for a 4 year old

The easy loop hike would be perfectly fine. You could even do some of the more difficult hike (it's got great views and things for them to climb on) just not all the way up.

The hike is fairly family easy, but it's possible to fall to your death at the knife edge summit! Each child should have an adult watching them carefully.

The easy hike is okay for kids.

It depends on the child. There is a climb up and once you are on the top, you need to keep children away from the edges.

The floor of the canyon between the tents is very doable for little ones. But the climb to the top is very steep and I'm not sure I would risk it with young ones.
