Mount Adams Steps.
The Steps of Cincinnati are central to a perennial Cincinnati tradition. Since 1860, the faithful ascend 85 steps of the Roman Catholic Immaculata Church on Good Friday[6] to the church's front door from the neighborhood below while praying the Rosary. An additional 65 steps start at the base of Mt. Adams, with a pedestrian bridge over Columbia Parkway connecting the two paths.[6] The steps were originally made of wood, but in 1911, the City of Cincinnati helped the church build concrete steps.[7] In 1958 and 2009, the city again rebuilt the now 96 steps leading to the church.
