Steamboat Rock — Sunday, Aug. 8, 2021

Central Washington > Grand Coulee
Steamboat Rock by Jolee

Hiked the full loop after visiting Grand Coulee Dam on an usually wet morning and windy day. The views are just spectacular and the hike/walk at the top was almost empty - we passed maybe 5 people. We all thoroughly enjoyed this hike and I highly recommend it; be aware that although this hike is rated “easy”, there is definitely some scrambling to be done, and the descent from the plateau requires caution.

The state park and campgrounds look great and weren’t full on this August Monday - looks like a really fun place to stay. We also brought our electric vehicle and needed to charge so we could easily get back to Manson - the park rangers gave us an assigned RV site so we could charge for free at 8kW/hour - we got about 70 miles of charge during the 2 hour loop.
