Also, a five year old could make it, but would probably be whiny. It is a short hike, but the pitch is steep at parts.

Can I get there in an impreza? Websites are recommending off road vehicles to get to this trail.

With a 5 year-old, I'd either go to Timp cave (if I was feeling ambitious) or

He did Timp last summer no prob. He's a pretty healthy guy.

Just head up the Timpooneke trail until you feel like turning around

Yes. Scout Flats about a mile up. Easy walk.
