Stairway to Heaven!

Want to get out of your comfort zone? Are you a dare devil at heart? How about giving these stairs a crack?

                                                           Pailon del Diablo Waterfall, Ecuador.
Translated to English, the name means the "Devil's Cauldron".  These steep stairs are made from smooth, oversize pebbles with hardly any traction. Married with the spray of water from waterfall makes this a great challenge. Hold on tight!

Haiku Stairs, Oahu, Hawaii
These stairs are part of the "Forbidden" trail  and are not legally open to the public but that does not stop the intrepid hiker!
