Survived the Incline

In Manitou Springs, there is an extreme hike/climb called the Incline. It's an old railroad track that the spikes and ties are used as stairs to climb to the top of Pikes Peak. The Incline has been on our to do list since moving here and we finally did it!

Here we are at the bottom...Jarad & I and our friend Megan- we're ready (so we think!) to do the Incline. You can see where the trail goes if you look just behind my head.

Megan part way up the first half- goin' strong!

Jar & I at the half-way point. There is a cut-off where you can jump onto another trail to head back down if you are tuckered out and don't think you can make it all the way to the top.

WE MADE IT!!! We look a little worse for the wear...but it felt like such an accomplishment!

The view at the top was gorgeous!! So worth the climb!

Jarad & I loved working together to make it to the top!
