Giant Stairs Palisades
Hiking area
👍 I was initially a little worried about this hike because of all the reviews but I found it more tedious (at least at the end) than difficult. All of the rocks are big with flat surfaces and were easy to hold on to. Hiking shoes help especially some areas we stepped through mud and puddles. We came o...
