Hello,
I will be going on my first section hike towards the end of July with my 8 year old son and we are super excited! I have been gathering up gear over the past year as I have learned how to backpack (short trips) through research and just plain old lessons learned the hard way and through trial and error. I have noticed that a lot of people have trekking poles but I have never hiked with them before. I know these can be pricey for the good ones. Do I really need the trekking poles or can we hike the trail without them????? Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Taz
