"The major highlight of this hike is the mystery of a series of large stone steps erected on the side of a steep mountain. The hike begins with a gradual ascent to the summit, where the clearings above talus slopes provide sweeping panoramic vistas. Once on top of the mountain, the trail connects with a popular backpacking trail and skirts the ridge flank. Your descent includes the mysterious Indian Steps.

The highlight of this hike is undoubtedly the mystery of the Indian Steps. Someone, no one knows just who for sure, built these steps using enormous flat rocks found alongside the trail. One theory holds that Native Americans, probably the Kishacoquillas, built the steps. Dissenters argue that most Native American trails were chosen because they were the easiest routes, and these steps are not the easiest way to cross this mountain."
