Why You Should Go Now: Fall foliage

Crisp morning (low 40s) but clear blue skies. Trail in good condition. Looked like there had been rain recently.

Great hike with small children.

Road to the TH was in relatively good condition. No major challenges for a passenger car.

Looking for warm, dry hiking with stunning views and a post-hike swim? Climb to the top of Steamboat Rock and ramble the butte top for dramatic views of Banks Lake and coulee country. Desert wildflowers and camping options sweeten the deal.
