Hello fine Bogley hikers! I'm hoping to take my 10 and 12 year old kids on a 3-5 day backpacking trip in the first week of April. Can anyone recommend any hikes you think the kids (and parents) would love?

Last spring break we did Grand Gulch's Kane to Bullet in 4 days and LOVED it. For our 2017 spring break we are hoping to find something of similar length and difficulty, but ideally with more accessible water :)

Any good hikes come to mind?

Buckskin will be a good once, if it's fairly dry. If not, it can be really cold in April.

Some other placed I'd recommend are Hackberry Canyon, Ticaboo Creek, or Silver Falls Creek/Choprock Canyon.

Actually, there are hundreds of choices.
