Largest outdoor staircase in the United States. Looking for a fun and family friendly activity? Located at the base of the Giant Pine Mountain ski jump, these stairs have played host to thousands of visitors and local athletes. Recently redone, the Pine Mountain 500 are a set of concrete stairs climbing nearly half of a mile straight up. The stairs are open year-round for public use, but please make sure to watch for the weather and safety first! Start at the bottom and work your way to the top, where the Pine Mountain Ski Jump and the UP Veteran's Memorial are located, or start at the top and gravity will take you to the bottom. But you'll have to work out your quads, hams, glutes and calf muscles to get back up. There are rest stations on the way up, if needed. One of our "must see’s" in Dickinson County!
