Feb 20 Ryan Mountain

Ryan Mountain, one  of the most popular hikes in Joshua Tree,  is a 3.3 mile (5.5 klm ) hike with a 1050 feet of elevation (320 m), non stop climbing from top to bottom. A real good cardio workout.

Maybe 25%  of the trail is steps 




That is 2 people on top of the rock. They must be rock climbers.

Well, I'm pleased you did Ryan Mountain! It looks like quite the hike. Steps are helpful! It looks like the steps are stone; I'm guessing they have been 'carved' naturally by the many walkers over the years, rather than any being placed to make steps. Awesome views. Good that there were others on the trail.

Some of the steps were natural from walking but many were man made.
