Suncadia 3-1000 Steps

The first thing you will notice is there are not 1000 steps in the !000 Steps staircase.  It must mean that there are 1000 actual steps to the River.  None the less, it is a breathtaking walk from the Suncadia Lodge to the Cle Elum River. 
Since Dasher is recovering from knee surgery, Deb stayed at the lodge with him and I took the journey alone.  All along the steps, there are signs talking about the animal that inhabit the area.
