    Great region. One of my favorite places in the country, as well as the beaches of San Diego.

    Just moved here from California. Did the incline this morning for the first time and that false summit got me! Should have watch BEFORE the attempt. Going back tomorrow! 😁👊🏼

      Gahhhh, at least the false summit isn't too far from the top. Welcome to the area!

    My niece and I hiked the trail the day you filmed this. We had either 745 or 8 AM as our time so we missed you by an hour or so. I recognized the guy in the gray sweatshirt that you talked to on the trail. I talked to him a bit when we got back down (bailed at 1300) and were waiting for the shuttle bus. He said he had just arrived the day before. Pretty cool to see.

    • @visitpikespeak
      @visitpikespeak  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow, that's so funny that we were both there the same day, close to the same time! Glad you got to see the outcome of our video :)

    • @batmaster1978
      @batmaster1978 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@visitpikespeak I looked up the receipt. Our time was actually 730. I'm just glad you didn't come across me on the trail. Wasn't a pretty sight toward the end. :) But I do want to try again someday.

    My boyfriends family and I are going to Colorado springs in about a week or so, me and my mother in law plan on hiking this. I will admit I'm very nervous due to height and my physical I recently popped my knee on Easter so fairly new injury . But I know if I'm able to make it up it will all be worth it. I'm from Texas as well and i am nervous for the pressure change. but IM SO READYYY!!!
    this video gave me a great perspective for the hike!

    Thank you for this video. I was just told about this hike today and looked it up, and yours is the first video I've watched for the hike.
    The one thing I thought was a little crazy was when you walked out on that tree on the way back down. You really don't want to become a statistic after slipping and falling off of something like that. There are many instances of people "getting that shot" for their channel and it going horribly wrong.

      June and September are two of our favorites - weather is pretty steady and it's not as hot or as crowded as it will be in July and August. :)

    Seems like this needs updated. There’s nobody at the bottom monitoring anything. Parking is $15 now and cash only. Would love to know the official schedule of the shuttle. Is there any free parking anywhere?

    Took me 3 hrs the first time. Tip have a small backpack. A big heavy one slows you down.

    so my dad is coming with me but doesn't want to hike the incline "wimp", can he hike the barr trail from there with no reservation or parking at another spot? im trying to figure this out.

    • @visitpikespeak
      @visitpikespeak  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Derek, there are no reservations needed for Barr Trail. There is parking nearby but it can be kind of expensive. Here's more info on parking: manitousprings.org/parking/

  • @lucyb6523

    I have a question for the hike down. Are there any wildlife in that area that we should watch out for. Thanks

    • @MrKrisPalacios
      @MrKrisPalacios 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @visitpikespeak
      @visitpikespeak  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depending on time of year, there can be bears on the trail but it is a heavily trafficked area so they usually don't come or stick around for long.

    @eunichic 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the video it was very helpful. This climb is in my possible to do list for an upcoming visit but I'm not sure yet. I do have 1 question, exactly how many stairs to the top?

    • @visitpikespeak
      @visitpikespeak  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad to hear it! It is 2,744 stair steps to the top

  • @1RadicalDreamer
    @1RadicalDreamer 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You still have to reserve a spot? Last time i hiked it was in the ARMY when i was stationed at Carson. Miss it dearly.

    • @visitpikespeak
      @visitpikespeak  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It truly is an amazing hike! Yes reservations are still in place.

  • @tallicafan85
    @tallicafan85 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    end of may i will be there. yes i will be going down it. its easier for me going down. my average time climbing up mt washington,NH is 5 hours, going down i hit a record of 2 hours 20min. im coming from CT at 350ft elevation.

    My wife and I along with our son hiked this while visiting our daughter stationed in Colorado Springs . We’re recreational hikers. This was definitely a todo while in the area. I sometimes found myself using all fours in the steepest parts. Use the side exits on the way down and not the stairs. If you stumble. It’s a long way down😁 and stay on the trails. Get out and enjoy the outdoors.

      @visitpikespeak  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's the Keg in Manitou Springs. Looks like a little dive bar, has some of the best food in Manitou and is owned by a really lovely local family. Some of their waitresses have been there over 20 years. That speaks volumes! Enjoy!

      There have been reported bear sightings in the past but the trail is fairly trafficked so they usually don't stick around for long.

    You got scammed on the parking there my friend there are free spots close to the incline if you know the area .
    no body local that I know pays to park in Manitou especially during the fall .
    I've lived in florissant Colorado for more than 17 years & I used to live in old Colorado City on North 24th St .
