Steamboat Rock — Sunday, Sep. 29, 2024

Central Washington > Grand Coulee

We hiked a 4.5 mile loop, starting from the campground.  The short scree section of the trail wasn't bad, but required a bit of scrambling.  Had clear weather, but once we got on top, we had some really strong winds.  Where the trail skirts the edge of the cliff along the west side of the rock, we veered off the trail to avoid being blown over the edge.  It wasn't difficult to strike off cross-country across the plateau and find the trail on the east side.
