Trail is in perfect shape. Great hike with my 4-year old son. Came across a few shady spots to rest in the 85-90 deg. heat. Encountered beautiful wildflowers, butterflies, and a rattlesnake hiding in the rocks.

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.
