This hiking trail in Colorado, if you make it to the summit, will take you about 8,600 feet above ground level. The Manitou Incline rises from the east side of the Rocky Mountain. This exhausting 2,744 steps steep trail is not for the faint-hearted, but if you think you are fit enough to take up the challenge, then, by all means, drive up to Colorado and test your drive!
Manitou Incline has been known to turn many a lot away even before they reach the ‘False Summit’, which is reached after crossing 68 percent of the climb. But the few achievers who have made it to the top, swear by their life, and sing songs of the beautiful view that awaits beyond the climb. The Incline was legalized only a few years back in 2013. Although this hiking trail enjoys its fame amongst seasoned hikers, it’s relatively unknown amongst us commoners. Maybe once the pandemic comes under control and the lockdown ends, we can inform our adventurous friends about this Incline and earn our own cool points!
