Well built stairs connects Rail trial to Mountain brow. Good logic having stop overs every few steps.

The best way up or down the escarpment if you ride a bike!
Unlike the Wentworth stairs, these have a spot to roll your bike along with you so you don't have to carry it (which is not so bad on the way down, up is another story!)

I think they could be further improved by adding little trollies people could ride in (like a mining car, attached to the railings)
but I won't hold my breath for that upgrade.

A nice walk, but gets very hot in the middle of day so bring enough water for your journey.

Great space for a stroll or workout on the stairs. Beautiful views & wide walkway; however too many people do not understand how to keep to their side / arrange their party in single file. Some pushy users on the stairs as well. The city could do a lot to better maintain & educate users. The top of the stairs could use more concrete area so users can be out of the way when resting / stretching.

Great place to get exercise workout on the stairs and do a hike/walk right down to Albion Falls. There is also a lovely gentlemen that shares works of art from natural sources and displays it along pathway. There are 2 sets of steps the Marget stairs then the Set of stairs at Kimberly street. At the top of Margate stairs there is a water fountain. Along mountain brow street is a walking path its a look out point over seeing Hamilton. Free parking spots along street!

Good experience. There are a total of ~ 430 stairs from bottom to the top of the mountain and can be a good excercise once in a while. Plus you get good view of the city from the top.

Great place to exercise and take a walk on the rail trail. This is a good place to access the trail to walk downtown as well.

Clear, wide, and paved path for winter walking. Nice views of the city to watch while you walk.

Perfect for walking and cycling in any weather. Paved pathway with access to rail trail and Uli’s Adventure stairs for the more risky people.

Best view on the east side of the mountain.

Nice paved trails, meets with the Bruce Trail at the bottom. There's an interesting little secret there too. Go and see for yourself.

I have been using these stairs for years as a form of exercise. The path at the bottom of the stairs is beautifully maintained during the fall, spring and summer months! It is a popular area and there are always people around, which I enjoy because it feels safe and motivating.
I would absolutely recommend these stairs to anyone!

Best workout ever! A path runs through the middle for a break or a jog as you are running stairs

Wish we had more like this around Hamilton. What an excellent project for public health, wellbeing, and ease of movement.
