Located in historic Oregon City, Oregon, the first city in the United States west of the Rocky Mountains to be incorporated. It is the county seat of Clackamas County, Oregon and the county courthouse can be seen from these stair. Just behind the stairs is the location of the home owned by Hudson's Bay Company's Dr. John McLoughlin.
Today, this location is used mostly for recreational purposes, but in the past, there was an Indian trail up this hillside, followed by some wooden stairs, and finally, these concrete stairs.
I am estimating the number of stairs. Every time I counted them I came up with a different number. There are lots. About 200, with three landings and a tunnel.
number of stairs (minimum 60): 200.00
stair landing (check if yes): yes
