Stumbled into Jacob s Ladder after visiting a pet center. This is a very steep climb. I practically crawled up since I am afraid of heights. I love a challenge even if I am afraid. Loved the climb up and the climb down. There were some men climbing it up and down for exercise. I recommend it to anyone looking for an easy adventure.

Not good for anybody with knee pain. The stairs are stable, but gradually become steeper the further up one goes. There is also scattered trash on the sides, making the stairs look less appealing. It s difficult to view the river or the full staircase from the top, covered by trees and bushes. Jacob s Ladder was created as a symbolic bridge between Heaven and Earth. The staircase has 88 steps, sitting in Cameron Park, a popular location for hikers and tourists who wish to climb the twisted and uneven staircase. Overall, a struggle to climb up, and a tragedy to walk down. It s a rememberable place, and it s great for pictures or visiting in groups.

Year along scenic location in Waco. Its part of bigger Cameron park/trail (attached map). The climb isnt much but very steep. Duration- less than 20mins. Parking with sitting space is located next to the entrance with wheelchair accessible parking. Good time to visit- evening or early morning. #HappyVisiting

The first 15 steps are easy, but watch out on the way up because its like a stair climber. The higher up you go, the harder it gets! Theres a nice park when you get to the top. If you want a good jogging trail with some stairs to boot, this is it!

This ladder is a super intense add to any workout. The stairwell is embedded into the hillside and some of the steps are very tall so you really have to push yourself to make it to the top and then very carefully make your way down. Jacobs Ladder does have railings on both sides but they are a wee bit wobbly so just be prepared to engage your core muscles to keep yourself from falling. I dont have a full photo but this picture can give you a bit of an idea as to what you should expect.
