Description

Hikers look back and down from a staircase that leads up alongside a rock wall. A signpost on the stairs reads, "The Needle's Eye to Chimney Rock," and a handwritten note reads, "Needle's Eye Stairway, 149 steps." Donor note: "Amazing that this was one continuous stairway--would not be allowed in today's world. This used to be just beyond Moonshiner's Cave (now Gneiss Cave)."
