Confirmed from Stairs on Division aka Belknap Death Stairs' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Stairs on Division aka Belknap Death Stairs
One of my favorite spots for a great cardio workout. With over 100 stairs, this is a quick and efficient way to get your heart pumping and burn calories. They've become quite a popular spot due to the social media hype, so be prepared to deal with dodging others if you intend to run rounds.
Great place to exercise and walk. I am not sure what Adam S. thought they were but as they are marked Stairs on Division it is pretty evident they are stairs. Hand rails do need some repair. The people I have encountered have been very friendly.
