Wife and I were blessed with our first child in August 2023. Thus far, any vacations have been via driving and within 5 hours of home. This summer (2024), the boy will be approx. 8-12 months old and we’d like to go out west (e.g., Colorado, Utah, Montana, etc.). Ideally, the activities would include: hiking/wildlife watching, mountain biking (me only), hanging at resort (pool, spa) and having a “nice” town to dine/visit.
Our initial thought was Kalispell/Whitefish, MT + Glacier Nat’l Park, but the drawback was the lack of direct flight/length of time to get there.
Previously, we have been to and love Breckenridge, but would like to see another state/area and cross-off a national park or two, if possible.
Any recommendations, tips/pitfalls for traveling with infant, etc.
