    Tips

    Hiking

    This marks the beginning of the 2,768 steps, which will lead you through almost 2,000 feet of elevation change in less than a mile. The climb is extremely challenging, so it's essential to come prepared with appropriate footwear and plenty of water. Fun fact, the world record, held by Remi Bonnet, is 17 minutes and 25 seconds from first to last step.

    It's important to note that a reservation is required to access the incline, and this is the location where you can check in before beginning your ascent. You can make a reservation at the following link: cityofcoloradosprings.aluvii.com/store/shop/productdetails?id=1&productId=1

    Hiking

    The Manitou Incline in Manitou Springs sits is at the base of Pikes Peak and challenges hikers with a severe straight climb. A very good way to train before going up to the Rocky Mountains!

    If you want to hike or run the incline, you have to make a reservation first! Check all info here manitousprings.org/where-to-play/manitou-incline.

    Hiking

    Gets steeper as you climb. Near half way the steps can be high as a foot or more in hight. Bring plenty of water, and wear sunscreen. There is little reprieve from the sun.
