This is one for the older children, taking on a winding trail that gains access to a spectacular limestone outcrop. If you need a peak with a dramatic name to get the kids excited, surely 'Storm Castle' is it. It's easy to see how it got its name too, standing like an ancient fortification on the top

This is a relatively easy hike in the Adirondacks that features glorious views of Lake George and the surrounding peaks. The tree-covered Sleeping Beauty Mountain's name will undoubtedly pique the kids' interest and there a plenty of different ways to approach its craggy top. Although the true summit
