Manitou Incline Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

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
