Tips

November 15, 2023

Indian Staircase is a 50-foot scramble up out of the forest. The beginning is more like an actual staircase, but higher up the rock, which has foot and hand holds, hikers must use their hands and feet to climb up the sandstone. Getting up is half the work; coming down can be tricky too.

Warning: This hike can be dangerous and possibly deadly. Gauge your ability, don't hike alone, and exercise extreme caution while climbing the Indian Staircase.
