One Thousand Steps

The 1,000 Steps project at Suncadia is 21 flights of stairs connecting The Lodge to the Cle Elum River. Covering an elevation change equivalent to the height of a 19-story building, the 379 stair steps provide resort guests and homeowners with convenient access to river activities and a scenic walkway.

The 1,000 Steps project enhances access to the Cle Elum River and complements the abundance of outdoor activities offered year-round at Suncadia. With scenic overlooks, picturesque seating areas and a beautiful destination, 1,000 Steps offers a rewarding and active experience for resort guests and homeowners, whether they relax on the landings or venture down to the river.”

The project features 379 stairs made from colored concrete and covering 197 vertical feet of elevation change. The 1,000 steps also feature a historical storyline woven into the concrete steps and landings. Dark Skies compliant LED low lighting fixtures illuminate the walkway without detracting from the night sky and four expanded landing areas provide seating and views overlooking the river valley. At the base of the stairs, a trail connects to Riverfront Park, providing resort guests and homeowners with more convenient access to river activities. For your safety, please observe the posted hours of use and do not use the steps if the gates are closed.
