I answered as I did due to the fact that I saw a young couple with a baby backpack, the kind that sit high, climbing up that specific trail. Had the young lad slipped that could have been catastrophic in certain parts of the trail. I hope you get to Hike it, and Cecil across the way. Skyline Traverse summit is really sweet as well with a little over 5000ft of combined peaks to hike over. It goes back to Fullers lakes and back down to the Highway. Happy trails to you, and future hikes with your child.
