My bucket list for 2025 has its first entry today! Manitou Incline! First it is not 2000’, it is 2786’. It was one where the last 900’ were heavily debated. The only bailout is at 1800’, so once you are committed it’s all the way up! It definitely was amazing and incredibly hard. Notes: 1:42 to get to the top! Wear shoe spikes in the winter, I never would have made it without them! Take lots of breaks & support those who pass you (young, younger, fitter, everyone is struggling!). The BARR trail down is 3.15 miles, long but beautiful! Take lots of water! ✅
