Manitou Incline set to temporarily shut down later this month during city project
According to an announcement from Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services, the City of Manitou Springs will be closing the Manitou Incline for the entire day on October 15.
The reason for the closure is a crucial waterline repair that’s set to take place, with Ruxton Avenue closing, as well.
“We know how much you love your climb, so plan ahead!,” reads the announcement. “Be sure to book your Incline reservations for another day this month — there are still plenty of great dates (and views!) waiting for you.”
The Manitou Incline is among the most popular hiking trails in the Pikes Peak region, attracting a constant flow of people when it’s open. Climbing more than 2,700 steps over less than a mile, the trail has become a sort of destination hike for Coloradans and out-of-state visitors as one of the most strenuous trails on the planet in terms of milage and elevation gain.
