Stairs, stairs, and....

more stairs. I guess these would be considered architectural? They start at the spring and wind their way around a cliff face and waaayyy up the hillside. 320 steps equalling a 200 foot vertical climb. I did not like the eerily fit old guy that made the circuit up and down four times in the time it took me to do it once, all the while feeling like I was going to either die from exhaustion or fall down the steps from wobbly legs. :lol:

each one leads the eye nicely through. the falls leaves also make them more interesting.

These are really cool! What park is this and where is it? Can you imagine building those stairs and how long have they been there? This is really interesting! Thanks for sharing!

This is Ha Ha Tonka state park in Camdenton, MO.

That is a lot of stairs I'd have to rest often-to look for photo oportunities of course-great perspective on all shots.
