: Re: What do I do if I have no idea how to explain how something looks or even what it is? In my story there is a hill and the hill looks like a stair case with three steps what would you

You could describe it as a series of interlocking stelae, a path carved by the giants of yore in the bones of earth. You could call them mesas in miniature.

I wouldn’t call it a staircase or allude to it as such. I might suggest describing the climb.

Frer was almost home, but while the distance was not great the ascent was not easy. Carrying the water he slowly climbed the first ascent, seventy feet of rough terrain and sudden level areas. He believed his grandfather’s stories about giants, who else could have moved these massive stones, now overgrown and one with the landscape. Resting briefly, he strode the length of the gentle incline that looked level from afar. The next slope was steeper still, but thankfully not quite as high as the first. Too close to home now to rest, he dug deep and climbed the final slope and saw his father waiting at the door of the hut they called home.
