Steptoe Butte State Park Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 12 photos

Steptoe Butte is a 150 acre park that features a 3,612 foot (1,100 m) peak. The main draw to this location is the excellent views (up to 70 miles 112 km) and the ease of use. A road winds its way all the way to the top and makes the site very accessible.
The park is open from 6 AM to 6 PM and requires no use fee.
