manitou springs incline印象

Enjoyed the views, particularly the first part with the big boulders and valleys. They were working on the track, so did not quite get to the normal overlook, but I had seen enough. The seats are hard and uncomfortable, particularly if you are facing backward going up slope. So if you can, get a forward facing seat. This way the slope holds you in the seat. Something always nice to do, particularly in the winter snows

This is the best way to see what you are made of. Either just make it to the top or do it for time. Our kids (5,7,8) all did it and were really proud when they got to the top. Don't pass up on this exciting challenge.

This killer hike keeps drawing me back to it even though I know how hard it will be! Fun to encourage newbies and tourists challenging themselves. Reward is spectacular view at the top.

Think of the highest flight of stairs you ever saw then multiply it times 100. You get started and it doesn't seem so bad then it hits you you have come so far starting to get tired and have so far yet to go. But once done you feel so proud.

There are a ton of stairs and goes almost straight up! Some are treacherous but if your in shape and agile it won't be a problem. Lots of fun when there is snow on the ground but is melting! Warm body, hot breath, and cold snow! Invigerating! The top is the best part with the view and a breather! I have seen some Special Forces guys run up and down this thing in the same time it takes a normal person to walk just to the top! lol But still a Great feeling of accomplishment! this is if you want to get outside, breath hard, breath fresh air, and get some exercise! Take the dogs too!

If you want to have a different view, experience or are just wanting to test your physical or emotional ability... then my fiend the Manitou Springs Incline is the trip for you. You legs will scream in utter ecstasy and your body will howl and urge you to stop, but don't. Once you have rubbed those blisters raw at the top, the view is unbelievable and made all that fun climbing worth it. Plus, every step back down the incline is a treat itself. Most important, there are a few stairs involved and not elevator, lol

The Manitou Springs Incline is a lot tougher than you could ever imagine. It was my first time attempting the incline. Me and my buddy finished the incline in 1hr10min. The incline had just finished the repairs on December 5. We finished it on Saturday, December 13.

Great workout- definitely a challenge! My family went up the incline and down the Barr Trail... about a mile up and 2.5 miles down. My legs did better than my TX lungs did. Found myself stopping frequently to catch my breath on the way up. Whole thing took our family about 3 hours with stopping for pics at the top and such. Of course, my teen son made it to the top so much sooner than I did that he already had a sunburn from his long snooze waiting for me! I am 44 and thought I was in decent shape til I did this! Felt like I had some serious shin issues the next day. Loved it tho- would do it again if we came back to town! Bring $5 for parking and good hiking shoes.

This is a workout! We saw someone carrying a bicycle on their shoulders to the top of this 2000 step rail road tie incline. I am not recommending that. It isn't for the faint of heart, so expect a lot of sweating, cussing, and crying if you don't regularly climb 2000 steps a day. There is a little restaurant that has restrooms at the bottom of the incline before you climb it. They sell t-shirts to, so I would recommend one as a pat on the back to say you've done it. When you reach the top there are no facilities. You are on a mountain and can trail it back down or turn around and go back down all the stairs. It is so steep that we trailed it back down since I have a height issue. You will love the view if you can stop panting long enough to look around.

You will have to pay to park but the incline itself is free. It is very challenging but the views along the way and at the top are great. Anyone with an interest in exercise of any sort should go up it when visiting the area.
