Manitou Incline
Aka “The Beast” is one of the coolest experiences that I’ve had in Colorado. Hard as hell, intense, a lot of mental energy. But, I got it done.
- I went with a great Meetup Group!
- Manitou Springs-Cute town next to Colorado Springs. Happy to say it has fully recovered from the mud slides from a few years ago.
- Traffic from Denver to Colorado Springs-is pretty heavy. Larkspur is in between both towns and has a lot of traffic because of the Renaissance Festival.
- Start early!
- Parking after 2:00 pm and the free shuttle.
- Chase Bank parking.
- Restroom situation.
- This was hard!
