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! 😁👊🏼
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 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.
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?
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.
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/
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?
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.
Great video of the experience! I'm coming to Colorado in another month. I have Fibromyalgia and no way can I do this now. I'll have to build endurance on trails first, but my goal is to make it to the top one day!
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!
We recommend going in the summer to avoid complications with the weather, but if you want to avoid the crowds it can be done in the spring or fall too!
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 .
use to do that evrey moring back in 2008 threw 2010 thats back when it was illegal miss it very much wish they would of left it like it was then they revamped it
Ok we really didn’t need a play-by-play of how to reserve a slot on the website (“hit continue,” “hit yes,” OK WHAT?). Just posting the site name would’ve worked. 👎👎
Great region. One of my favorite places in the country, as well as the beaches of San Diego.
Thank you so much for the excellent explanation of every detail. I live in Germany and I appreciate it !
You're welcome! Are you planning on hiking the Incline in the future? :)
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!
I'll be there in 2 1/2 weeks... can't wait!
Great Video Bro!!
I just did this! My time was 1hour and 40 min as a beginner I took a million breaks haha 😂 felt super accomplished once I finished a must do! ❤
That's amazing, congrats!!
Great video. I have a good feel on what to expect this weekend. Thanks.
We love to hear that!! Enjoy the hike!
This was so helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!

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 :)

Thanks for the video now we know what to expect when we go in September.
Hope you enjoy it!

Tourists always look at me crazy when I run down the entire trail in one go xD gotta love being a Colorado native
Not just tourists. I'm a native and I'm SO impressed by this. Well done !!

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing, what's the best time of year to do this?
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. :)
This was awesome! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
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?
Imagine building that trail with all those stairs
I know! It must have been a massive undertaking. Thanks for watching!
Took me 3 hrs the first time. Tip have a small backpack. A big heavy one slows you down.
Great tip! All you need is water and snacks.
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.
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/
I have a question for the hike down. Are there any wildlife in that area that we should watch out for. Thanks
Not at all...i dont see anything yet
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.
get down before sundown
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?
Glad to hear it! It is 2,744 stair steps to the top
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.
It truly is an amazing hike! Yes reservations are still in place.
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.

Thank you very informative giving time frames and registration because of Covid
Happy to know you found this information helpful!
You guys are so cute together. I hope you guys are a couple
nice video thank you.
I've hiked this. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't my cup of tea either.
Nice!
Thank you!
Do we have to worry about any bears?
There have been reported bear sightings in the past but the trail is fairly trafficked so they usually don't stick around for long.
3-minute time lapse of the incline: th-cam.com/video/mziPOrLo4v0/w-d-xo.html
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Where you get that burger at son I live in occ
That burger was the Keg in Manitou -- one of the best burgers around!
Wish month is the coldest September or October please let me know. Thanks
October is definitely colder, but often stays pretty nice for most of the month.

Good plecyi yar 🙏👍🏻💐
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 .
my best time was 25 min 40 sec
Wow, that's incredible!

10-4! We've walked lots of people through the process over the phone so know some can use a little extra help. :)
