We  have hiked the Stein river Trail from the east a few times.    From Lytton, we have taken the Reaction Ferry to the west side, then drove north to the access road to the park.     We have backpacked in twice and we have day-hiked in and out several times.   Our most recent hike was in the spring of 2024.   We hiked to the pictographs wall and back, a km hike.

The trail follows the river, then climbs over the hillside at the Devil’s Staircase, then back down to the river again.     There are a number of excellent places to camp, to have lunch, or just to dally by the river.   A special place, one we will return to hike again.
