Conner
did.
The
Manitou Incline outside of Colorado Springs. The incline was built in the
early 1900s, a funicular railway to go up Pikes Peak. The railway was
damaged by a rockslide in 1990 and eventually closed. Without train cars
going up and down it anymore, who could then resist hiking up the roadbed of an
incline railway?
It’s
not a very long hike, slightly less than a mile, but it gains 2,000 vertical
feet in one continuous staircase of 2,768 railroad ties.
A
bit of a grind. How long did it take? 52 minutes.
