Driving into the trailhead, about 5 miles in (of 17), the road is impassable with 3 trees completely blocking the road at about 3 feet high. Otherwise, there are many fallen, smaller trees EVERYWHERE. Better to have a vehicle with high clearance.

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.
