Description Suggest change

The Devils Staircase AKA The Ampitheater AKA The Palisades, is the giant terraced band of splitter cliffs, running just south of the Devils Slide Trail. Huge abundance of splitter crags on great rock, with some climbs being three or more pitches!

Getting There Suggest change

You can drop in or descend the Devils Slide trail, or follow Strawberry Creek drainage for days!
