Staircase Rapids — Monday, Apr. 14, 2025

Road is in Spring form- full of giant potholes that are navigable if you go slow.  A carefree Ford Focus went flying through them.  The gate was open and parking available all the way at the road's end.  No rangers around and Spring cleaning has not started.  A small blowdown was on the trail in to the suspension bridge and on the return loop, we decided not to attempt to cross the creek crossing where a log bridge is nowhere to be found.  Adventurous people should be able to maneuver the makeshift bridge.  A spectacular day at Staircase and only a dozen or so people to share it with on a Monday.
