Jacobs Ladder is probably our favorite place to visit in Waco, or at least it’s the place I always remember, because my legs will be hurting for days! 88 huge steps mark the distance from the bottom to the top of this old staircase, and being able to say you did it is totally worth the climb!

Know Before You Go
It can be quite busy, and sometime hard to get parking. Be patient, it’s worth it! There is also parking at the top, at the Clubhouse or across the street, and you can walk down Jacob’s Ladder.
Be sure to have water available, or at least in the car.

When you reach the top, you can rest or walk to the Clubhouse.
