I am just wanting to know if anyone has any good tips for what to take along for our trip.
Answer
You don't say how old your infant is - and as you said infant and not baby, I would talk to your peditrician first and make sure they have had enough shots and are strong enough to go. Camping lends itself to misquitos bites, ticks and other things...
With that being said though - for slightly older babies - be sure to bring a baby backpack (for ages 6 months and up) keeps them elevated and allows for them to see everything better - also acts as a diaper bag. Jogger strollers are also a wonderful invention fo rthose trail that you can use them on.
A bassinet or portacrib - as they can't sleep in sleeping bags.
DIAPERS, DIAPERS & more DIAPERS as well as ziploc bags to seal them in while you are hiking, etc... since there may not be any garbage cans near and this will prevent a mess or smell in your diaper bag.
If you aren't breastfeeding - plenty of formula, bottles & BOTTLED water as you probably won't be able to boil water and you don't want them drinking tap water.

Can you use a stroller while hiking?
*My precio
I wanted to go hiking in a few months when it gets a little warmer but I have a 13 month baby. It would be uncomfortable to carry him the whole time, but i can't get a babysitter because all my family live out of the state. So can you use a stroller while hiking?
Answer
It depends.
Certainly a toddler (that's right you don't have a baby anymore!) can handle bouncing around in a stroller although if the terrain is too lumpy (covered in rocks, trees, etc.) you're going to struggle with a stroller. But if the hike is more like a hard-pack dirt path then definitely a stroller can be great!
I have a Bob stroller which I love. The bigger wheels make it easy to navigate obstacles on the path. They aren't cheap however :P I would definitely suggest investing in a decent jogger if you plan to do lots of hiking with it. Your traditional 4-wheel stroller (the kind you use at the mall) is probably going to struggle if you try to take it off-road.
I also have a Kelty backpack which kills - KILLS - my back so I also prefer the stroller. Our Kelty has almost never been used.
