For the past year, Uli's Stairs in Hamilton, ON, have been at the top of my bucket list. As a lover of unique landmarks and outdoor adventures, I had…
I finally had the chance to visit them, and let me tell you, the experience was as unforgettable as I had hoped.. They were crafted by a local resident named Uli, who embarked on this ambitious project more than 20 years ago.
The stairs are a total of 140 steps. The first half is gradual and easy, but after starting the second ascent, I found myself climbing up a steep incline that had definitely had me second-guessing myself.As I made my way up, I couldn't help but be struck by the raw, unpolished beauty of the stairs. Downed branches, serving as makeshift railings, lined both sides, and multiple benches and seating areas were thoughtfully integrated into the structure.
It's important to note that Uli's Stairs are not maintained by the City of Hamilton. In fact, there's a sign at the top clearly stating that they are used at the climber's own risk. Though the journey is short, this is not a place for the faint-hearted or those unprepared for a bit of adventure. Despite the potential hazards, the reward at the top is worth every cautious step. The panoramic views are nothing short of spectacular. On a clear day, you can see for miles, taking in the lush greenery, cityscape, and Lake Ontario in the distance.
