Hiking the Manitou Incline: Tips and Preparation

SAVE this for hiking the Manitou Incline! First of all.. we made it look fun but this hike is no joke! Here are the stats: 🗺️ 4 miles total 🥵 1,978 ft of elevation gain in the first mile 📆 Reservations Required 💦 Make sure you’re prepared by hydrating ahead of time and bringing lots of water (I drank a full 3 liters on the hike) ⬇️ Hike down the Barr Trail instead of the Incline stairs -unless you have to turn around which is completely understandable- 🍣🧢 Bring snacks and a hat - there is very little shade 🚮 Pack up all of your trash, including apple cores and orange peels! 🤝 Enourage your friends but also respect if they want to turn around. If you’re feeling the slightest bit off, this trail can really wreck you. 🥹 Take it as slow as you want, and don’t forget to turn around and admire the views!
