It took me and my wife about 2 hours to go up to the top. I would imagine it would be pretty tuff for a 6 year old as some places are quite steep. Its almost all in the shade. If he can't make it to the top just turn around and its all down hill
Park at the visitors center(free) and then take the shuttle bus(free) to the lower town. From there it is only about a 10 minute walk across the bridge to the trailhead.
