Steamboat Rock is a basalt mesa that rises from Banks Lake, near the north end of Grand Coulee and not too far from the dam. It's about 800 feet to the top and there's only one trail up, which makes use of a break in the cliffs above the State Park campground on the southeast side. I spent two or three hours wandering the summit. The sun was shining and the temperatures were probably in the high 50s. The flowers were starting to come out, but the rattlesnakes were probably still sleeping.
