A photogenic historic stair run linking Stillwater's hillside neighborhoods to the riverfront: strong leading lines, textured steps, railings and seasonal foliage framing views of the St. Croix River and downtown. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm side light and river reflections. Public access with street parking nearby; no fee. Stairs can be wet/slippery in rain or ice—wear good footwear. Weekday mornings are quiet; autumn brings peak color.
