Youtube video: Trip the Elysian Fields (Mount Rainier National park)

This video was made by a Trail Ambassador for Gossamer Gear (they review and test gear for Gossamer Gear). In the video he goes on a 3 day trip with his daughter to the Elysian Fields. Nice balance of scenery and informative talk about his gear.

I found it nice to see that he has taken his kids backpacking since they were 7.

As he says, “… I started taking my kids out by car camping and they would play in the area. Then it was car camping with little day hikes. They did their first overnight backpacks at about 7, though many kids go out much younger. My daughter has turned out to be a great hiking partner, and the times spent are invaluable.”

Maybe I can convince some friends to try the trail with me.
