Manitou Incline

Today Stacey and Jonathan made it up the Manitou Incline for the first time. We dropped Julia off with my Mom as usual (on Wednesdays) and hit the trail at about 10 a.m. We went up the Incline but took the Barr Trail down. Round trip was about 5K - 2,000 vertical feet each way. Jonathan slept through most of the trip on the way up. On the way down he did a little sightseeing though. The top of the incline is at about 8,800 feet, so at the very beginning of the descent we had some good views of Pikes Peak. Not a bad way to spend your morning.
