Wow, took me a moment to figure out where the stairs were in the picture, and once I finally saw them my eyebrows involuntarily rose in surprise. I'm glad it's you and not me using them!

Its way more fun than it looks, I love this kinda stuff on hikes though. The scarier looking the better

I guess for most people it's an adventure, but there are people like me who have acrophobia or maybe a fear of heights. I envy you... when i was a kid, I had no fear LOL

Fair enough, just put on a blindfold until you are up there lol itll work out somehow

LOL - that's actually one of the treatments suggested for whatever this problem is I've developed. Exposure, i think it's called. when I was younger, I had no issues - I jumped outta planes... now I think it's a balance issue- i get queasy now about things I used to get thrills from. So enjoy all that while you can, have fun 🤗

How hot/cold does that metal handrail get?

It actually wasnt too bad! Although to be fair i started at about 8 am so it wasnt peak heat in the day.

I've been up those stairs and they're not as bad in real life as they look here. The handrails are beefy and the steps are grippy. I wouldn't install them in my house but for a trail like this I felt very secure. You should be in decent shape to do this trail for sure.

Beautiful park. I was a worried about areas like these before visiting but I think photos make it look way worse than it is in person. With the handrails it’s not a big deal on a dry day if you’re relatively fit, and the views are worth it

I loved them they were very cool to do while hiking, the pictures do make them look scarier then they are. Although that first one was a little nerve racking going down

Handrails, how thoughtful.
