How long does it take to get to the top?

I tried last year from Silverton in my truck but was too steep. I will try from Ceede in a few weeks with my truck or maybe one of those side by sides.

I plan to do it in 45 minutes

Far from the best climbing but interesting geology comments

Lawd!

How can I train for this living in Texas where there is no elevation? I’m a 120 pound female and not sure I have the leg strength to make it to the top. I need some kind of training before attempting it.

It's like Kokohead Hiking Trail in Hawaii

When I lived there, the incline would call out to me- Then right before I left I accepted the challenge and I conquered the incline. When I reached the top I said that was it for me- one and done. Now I feel the challenge to beat my original time. The incline is a beast!!! I loved it and hated it at the same time and I am so glad I did it!!!

Good content. I feel like the video could have been compiled and presented a little better, but it's still a 7 out of ten for me.

wondering how you guys come down?? Zip line?

Drove from Dallas to do it. My fiance wants to do it…I’ll watch 😂

Drove 15 hours to get to Manitou Springs from South Texas, was going to acclimate for 2 days before attempting but decided to go for it the next morning, early. It hurt but got it done in an hour and a half...hated it, but can't wait to do it again...

Just moved to Manitou Springs and just learning of this incline. Holy Crayola!! I'm getting winded just walking from my car to my front door, ha! Gotta give kudos to everyone who can make this hike!! 🧸❄️

Bravo

I’m coming from sea level can I do the incline the same day I arrive in Denver ? I’m in pretty good shape and do middle distance triathlons

You two are the best

Has anyone ever seen a bear ?

What kind of shoes were y'all wearing? Would a light hiking shoe be good or do your legs feel like tree trunks no matter what you wear?

I really want to try the incline. I live in Colorado Springs but I haven't been hiking at the Manitou incline yet.

If the incline does not kill an allergic reaction or unknown heart condition will. People each time I have hiked the incline Emergency services have been called.

Is this hike worst than the Stairway To Heaven from Oahu??

My first incline trip came in 1972. I cheated and actually rode the tram to the top! Then we hiked Barr Trail to the summit of Pikes Peak. Did in the Scouts. Leave Friday afternoon, ride tram, hike to Barr Camp, spend the night then hike from camp to the summit, eat lunch then hike back down to camp. Stay the night and pack out Sunday and ride the tram back down. Lots of fun. Did it two years in a row in my teens with my younger brother. It was a blast.

That's Colorado water and should be used as such who cares if their isnt some left over for the southern states

A couple of brooks, streams meet each other north of Creede, and the river is formed.

Forget the past and live in the present with Christ or if you’ve not yet, turn to Him now! He’s waiting with open arms. He’s always been chasing you through every up and down. All you gotta do is turn around. 🙏✝️

I'm from Iowa and I hiked the Manitou Incline back in 2020. It was super difficult for me until about 1000 steps in, but it seemed to get easier the more I got acclimated to the altitude. Unless you physically can't go any further, don't turn around. It's very satisfying to finish and the view from the top is incredible.

It took my dad 3 tries but he accomplished it at 76 years old (from south Texas ❤)

Vote Republican

nice video!

So worth it! Love Coco hanging in there with you!

This is awesome! Does CO Rivers Parks perform the same tests on the tributaries of the Colorado River?

😥 p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷

Whoa, you got my respect 🙏 👏 🙌!

I wonder if the bubbling boiling mud has anything to do with the boiling water that is pumped deep into the ground there for borax extraction?

Good climb! Good cause!

my record was 40 minutes in the Army when I was 19 back in 2005....lol

Thanks for the video

I’m a Colorado Native and after getting sick with a really bad infection, it impacted my lungs severely. I have asthma now and it’s really hard for me when it comes to cardio/incline/run now 😔 I’m only 20. Idk how to increase my stamina or do better with breathing. I badly want to do this (I work out everyday) but my breathing control sucks. Anyone got tips for this??

The ones in jhole are a lot more ominous

Iam going there in a month, my main concern is to miss a step or lose my balance and fall down, will I keep rolling down and hurt my self bad?

I just did it three times in one day today

And I thought climbing The Willis Tower in Chicago was tough...ha!

First time hiking the incline was as a kid, hated it. Boutta go back and do it againnn 👌🏻

My son did it 6 times in one day a few days ago, as a personal challenge. If not for the heat, I’m guessing he would’ve done more. Watching this video, I’m even more proud of him; that thing is steep!

Is there a second way down after you get to the top

I hiked this in 2011, ran down the trail on the other side. Crazy 😆 The crazy part about running down the step incline is that there are natural obstacles on the trail like roots and large pieces of rock pertruding from the trail. You have to plan your steps while running to avoid these or you can really hurt yourself. Did this with a friend who recently retired from the Air Force there. Be safe my friends 😆

about to do this hike and then after drive pikes peak, hopefully legs wont be shivering too much lol

Me me me…but i am afraid of heights!!!

Seriously…that is a glute buster! I totally want to hang out with you guys!!!!
