Incline October 2010

Hunter and I took off one morning during fall break to tackle "The Incline", a famous and pretty tough hike in Manitou Springs. It's a 2,200 ft elevation gain in about 1.5 miles...we enjoyed the workout and the views!


This is the start..notice the false ridge..it's NOT the end and when you hike the first time and don't know this, it stinks! You think you're going to be finished and it just gets tougher.



Almost done...Hunter finished first..Go Hunter!


Two hiking buddies that conquered the mountain!

Views from the top

We took the Barr Trail back down and saw cool rock formations and beautiful views


What a fun day....we would have loved Ashley to join us, but she said there was no way she was hiking this trail..we'll see what happens next fall
