This staircase is the only way to enter and exit the canyon, grotto and cave area. Once in the canyon there are some additional steps, rocks and roots to navigate along the trail next to our creek. Some areas have a cable railing to help with balance. You are encouraged to bring a camera, water bottle, and your own hiking poles/sticks if you question your stability, .
