I want to take my son on his first backpacking trip (with hammocks, of course ). He's only nine, so he's not going to be able to carry much weight. I'm thinking an easy 1-2 mile hike in would be a good intro, but not sure where to do that. It's been years since I did any packing, and all the trails I remember would be too much for him right now. Any suggestions? We're in Charlotte, NC, so we could easily travel to parts of SC, the NC mountains, or southern VA.

Thanks!
