  • I love this hike, It is intense, but it's worth it. The view from the top is amazing as it is the feeling to accomplish to the last step. I highly recommend it .

  • It’s a Pretty amazing feeling to get to the top. It is , of course intense , but I liked how all the steps were numbered . At the end we’d do 50 then stop. It helped for us to break it up that way...

  • Hey loves I have to share with you the Manitou Incline. It's one the most popular hiking trails in Colorado to be honest. You gain over 2000 feet in elevation in less than a mile. This is an amazing experience. You will challenge yourself physically and mentally to tackle the elevation gain and the steps but it's worth it. Once you make it to the top you'll enjoy the Beautiful Barr Trail coming down. The fastest time up was a little over 16 min. Come to beautiful Colorado Springs and climb the Manitou incline. You have to go online to the city of Colorado slings and reserve a time slot. It is free and fairly easy to navigate through the website. You all have to this. See you at the Top.
  • Hiked this on 8/28/2019 with some guys. This is a serious hike, even for someone in shape. It is straight up as a stair master that has 2,768 steps, but worth it to go up and then take the easier trail back to the bottom. We had someone that we ran halfway down to tell him to bail at that halfway point that leads to the easier trail back to the base. Saw a guy run by me up and down 3x while we were walking up. Maybe one day!
