Staircase Rapids — Saturday, Jul. 27, 2024

♿ reviewer: Arrived at 11 am on a Saturday. The parking lot was busy with a Parking Attendant to help find spots. There are two ♿ parking spots. If you park at the disabled parking, it's not a full loop trail, and you'll end up needing to walk downhill from the upper parking lot to your car or have your driver pick you up. I would personally rate this trail as moderate, and consider readiness based on length of trail and ability to do stair-like elevation. We saw 30-40 people on the trail. The water was so inviting, we wished we had brought our bathing suits and started at the upper trail so we'd swim at the end near our car. (Not sure if swimming is allowed lol.)
