DETAILS:

The famous Manitou Incline is an old funicular (cable) railroad track that has been repurposed as a hiking challenge. It is less than a mile in length.
Only .88 of a mile. But it is steep. 2,768 steps. 2,000 foot ascent.

Most people who attempt it, are delighted to complete it. If you've done it before or if you have simply been curious, now is your chance to try it with a fun, encouraging and mutually supportive group.
And don't worry if you're unsure but curious, there are 2 bail out points on the incline. And that's ok! Everyone has their own challenge level......

We are not in a race or competition.... Once completed, the way back down is via a normal hiking trail, not the steps..... We will carpool there.....

Last time, after the hike, we celebrated the accomplishment by going to a Restaurant in Manitou. (A Nepalese -Indian, because, you know, the Himalayas are next!). It was a fun tie-up to the day. I anticipate doing this again with those who are interested......

For conditioning, I will schedule 2 Saturdays where we will go to the Castle Rock Challenge Hill. And we will do a few up downs to get conditioned and get in the right frame of mind. The Castle Rock training Hill is about 1/11th Manitou. This is totally optional.....

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN US FOR THE TRAINING, PLEASE RSVP TO: SMazzarella@hotmail.com. I will take care of the required reservations with Manitou......... This is a good opportunity to get in hiking shape for the summer!
