3. From 2024 - Manitou Incline
Published: 03.05.2024
The first task for today has been mastered - the Manitou Incline ( https://www.visitcos.com/things-to-do/outdoors/manitou-incline-near-colorado-springs-colorado ).
When you've completed the first half (1400 steps), you think to yourself: it's not that bad after all. Unfortunately, that's a false assumption, as in the second half you're confronted with gradients of up to 68% - your thighs will burn!
Every now and then you will be cheered on by a few chipmunks or robins (they were much more shy and therefore not on any photographic evidence).
You will then be rewarded at an altitude of 2590 m after 1.4 km, 2768 steps and 610 meters of elevation with a foretaste of the Rocky Mountains and a beautiful view of Manitou and Colorado Springs.

Lass die Schenkel glühen..., tolle Fotos, muss sehr beeindruckend sein. - Ich glaube, wir anderen hätten schlapp gemacht, erst recht, wenn man wie der Berliner Kollege einen Hund tragen müsste....
