Hiking Companions: Hiked with kids; Hiked with a dog
Be Aware Of: Blowdowns

About half mile in the trail is seriously blocked by blown down trees. It's a pretty under-utilized trail and we couldn't find any trail reports more recent than two years, but they warned it could be bad in spots. It was pretty much impossible unless we completely missed something.

Should have taken some pictures, sorry

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.
