Steamboat Rock — Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023

Our family camped at the nearby campground. There were wild turkeys and rattlesnakes which were fun to see. The walk to the hike was easy. As we started the climb with an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old, the first part of the climb had loose rocks and required some scrambling. The younger kiddo had no trouble, but the older kiddo and I had to really watch where we were placing our hands and feet as to not dislodge too many rocks. The rest of the hike was over and around solid basalt rock. When we arrived at the top, the view was glorious. The bush was dry, with few wildflowers and no bugs, but it was very warm. All in all, Steamboat Rock was an adventure for the kids with great views at the top.
