Lots of character...but would YOU climb it?

Further down the trail, we come upon this crumbling concrete and limestone staircase. From this vantage point, it looks rickety and past its prime. We hiked up the hill another way, and then dared ourselves to climb down these steps. We were surprised to find the staircase very sturdy and serviceable.

  2. It's pretty, Val, but I would have waited until you came down and pronounced it safe.

  7. Looks like it might be safer coming down than going up. I think I actually would try those stairs and not just watch!!

  8. Lovely lush shot.I think I'd rather climb it than go down, that gravity is so unforgiving once one gets going.
