Steamboat Rock — Monday, Oct. 18, 2021

Arrived on Monday 10/18 at 9:45am and the parking lot was wide open. As a matter of fact I was the only hiker while I was there. Having said that I see why I was the only one there, this trail is pretty boring. There are some great views regardless but it wasn’t worth the 3.5 hour drive in my opinion. There’s a good amount of scree in this trail so make sure you have good hi-top hiking boots because I definitely rolled my ankles a few times (no injury). Luckily did not run into any venomous critters but they’re out there. Also the trail can get real faint at certain points so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A MAP! AllTrails offline map did not help for I got sent for a loop twice. Once near the farthest north corner when you start to head west and the SW end of the trail.
