Hi everyone!

I’m fairly new to the Coquitlam area and with the weather being warmer these days I want to go to a few trails with my preschooler. He is fairly active but has a broken arm in a sling at the moment.

We have been given the green light by the specialist to go hiking, provided he is not going to be going on steep hills that will increase risk of falling and possibly damage the cast as well.

I am a complete beginner when it comes to bringing a little one to a trail. What is a fairly flat, easy hiking trail to bring a preschooler? I would say 1-2 hours tops in terms of length and also if it’s just a small group if we need to watch for bears on certain trials and how to prepare for that?

Thanks in advance!
