  • 8-year-old and her parents hike the Foothills Trail.

  • They hiked for nine days.

  • The family decided to take the trip after the coronavirus canceled several of their vacations.

After the coronavirus canceled all of their family trips, they found a way to travel and social distance.

The Foothills Trail ends at Table Rock State Park and takes hikers past many beautiful sights, including several waterfalls. The family says they saw very few people, and on some days they even hiked 12 miles.

While this trip was not one they planned to take, mother Jenna Crawley says it is one that brought them a lot closer.

"I cried because it was over. It was just like, 'wow, we did that,'" Crawley says.
