The route will be available on the AllTrails app, and printed maps are available at the starting point for those who would like one.  You will find snacks and encouragement at the turnaround checkpoint at the Chedoke stairs, and will then return to the starting point to collect your coveted Steeltown Stomp badge, enjoy more snacks, and experience a great sense of accomplishment! You are not expected to complete the stairs on the return trip.
Please Note: This is an arduous hike and requires a high level of fitness due to the stair climbing required.

There is a turnaround checkpoint at the Chedoke Golf Course, and then you will hike directly back to the starting point. You are not expected to complete the stairs on the return trip.
