Driftwood Canyon Miners Stairs

Steps cut into the sandstone near the mouth of Driftwood Canyon, off the main channel around mile 46. They are known as the miners' stairs; prospectors worked Glen Canyon's gravel bars for gold before the dam, though who cut these steps is not documented. Watch your footing on the worn steps.
