Overview: Widely regarded as the toughest trail in Glen Canyon Recreation Area, The Steps trail descends from the rim down to the Colorado River across from Lee's Ferry. This route involves serious route-finding across broken terrain and sand hills. This trail is extremely strenuous and exposed, and should only be attempted by very experienced hikers. The Steps has some very serious (~1200') exposure. The Park Service does not promote or even acknowledge the existence of this route.
