The steps are historical remains here from
the Spanish colonization of Guam between 1521 and 1898. The Spanish built steps
down the mountain, which can still be seen today. The hike traces the path of
the original staircase, so the deteriorating steps are going part of the way
down. There is also a Spanish well at the bottom of those steps; possibly built
to supply fresh water to Fort Santiago on top of the cliffs. It is located on
the Naval base, so you must go with a military person to access them.
We saw a turtle like this at Fish Eve but he was moving so the pictures didn't turn out.
