Snapshots of Manitou Springs: The Incline

The New York Times described Manitou Springs, CO as "Hippie Mayberry." I'll be the first to admit, it is a VERY interesting little town. Manitou Springs is nestled between Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak. It is maybe 10-15 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs.

One mile....going up 2,000 ft. The New York Times article does a great job of explaining how humbling a work out The Incline is.
