Below: A glimpse from a bridge down into the big crevice below - and to the right of the picture is the start of a big mound the two RV Gypsies must go around and then up via some difficult and strange steps. The sign at the beginning of the trail can also be seen in these two photos.

Marker #13 shows a view up to the beginning of the trail, but the two RV Gypsies were not quite at the top yet.

Below: Next, the two RV Gypsies had to walk around the bottom of the round rock formation shown below on the left, then they came to some logs that were in lieu of stairs.

After reaching the top of the log stairs, there were indents that represented stairs. The photo below on the left shows part of the stairs, and the photo on the right shows how the the stairs go into the mountain.

Below: As Lee Duquette started up the difficult stairs, Karen Duquette, who was still at the bottom of the stairs took a zoomed-in photo of a rock formation that looked to her like a finger pointing up towards the stairs as if to say "Yeah, good luck RV Gypsies."

Then Karen Duquette had to tackle the stairs and decided to sort-of crawl up them.

Looking back at trails the two RV Gypsies have been on before walking the final path of the big loop back to the starting point.
