Every family adventure gives me a little more confidence to take on something bigger. We’ve done plenty of road trips and even taken our two-year-old climbing a few times this summer, but we hadn’t done a trip fully dedicated to climbing yet. As climbers, it’s kind of felt like everything was leading up to that.

Fall in Utah is our favorite, so I put in for a week of PTO, we packed up a camper van, and hit the road for our next big adventure.

We learned a ton about what works (and what doesn’t) for us, but overall it was amazing. Honestly, my favorite family road trip yet. The biggest reason it worked so well was the group we went with. None of our friends on this trip have kids, but they all jumped in to help make it possible and it made such a difference (love you guys! THANK YOU!). 

Since getting home, our kiddo has already asked multiple times if we can go camping and climbing in the desert again, and I couldn’t be more excited for all the family climbing trips to come.

Every kid is different, but if have any questions about how we made it work drop them in the comments below. I’m happy to share our insights and would LOVE to see more families getting out there safely 🧗‍♀️
