Do you have any tips for hiking or trail walking bringing a young baby?

Mama <3

We have a baby bjorn carrier that we will be carrying her in. Is this good enough or do we need something better? I walk our neighborhood carrying my daughter all time. She is 4.5 months old. We live on a mountain so I am walking up and down hills everytime we go and I usually walk almost a mile.

We want to do some walking/ small hiking in smokey mountain ntl forest. We are probably just going to do an EASY trail during the month of March and that's if we get a warm, nice day.
Is this ok to do? Seriously or should we stick to just shopping and enjoying Gatlinburg? I worry a little about bears. My husband is an "outdoorsman" and he hikes as a hobby and he carrys a gun almost always. He will have a powerful one Im sure. ;)

Your plans are good, just be sure to bring the ten essentials for you and baby. I started all my kids out on my back in a baby backpack and they always enjoyed the trips. My ears became leashes as Jr would grab them and try to steer me around. Bring sun block. here is a link with more info,
