What a little gem of a hike! Great for this time of year, before it gets too hot. The flowers are out at the lower section of the trail. The top 1000 feet are still under snow, but it’s easy to get through and find the way (straight up!). There are some mosquitoes.

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.
