A great experience in the snow as well as intense workout! Thankfully, the steps were not icy but snow packed. Make sure to bring water and perhaps a snack. We did the incline in less than 2 hours...

Such a great workout. A mile long, not easy though, since it's very steep. A must try when in Colorado. Will do it again soon.

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!
