@coloradofanclub: 🚃 The Historic Manitou Springs Incline (Manitou Springs, Colorado). Long before the Manitou Springs Incline became the premier test piece for one's fitness level, it tested one's nerves via descending steeply down the side of Manitou Mountain. Operating since 1908, the Manitou Incline created smiles and memories until closing in 1990. In 2013, the Incline became legal for public use...and people have been hiking the former railway ever since. The route ascends ~2,000 feet in less than 1-mile...at a grade of between 43%-63%. Did you ride the Incline when it was still in operation? Hiked it? Both? 📸 Pictures #1-#4: Various photos of the Manitou Incline courtesy of the PPLD Digital Archives. Check the photos for more info. 📸Pictures #5-#11: Photos by me. . . . --------------------------------- #manitousprings
Why did all the cool rail inclines get destroyed in Colorado. That’s so cool

What's the point? :
It's too bad that in the eighties of big rock somehow rolled down and wrecked the tracks for the incline , it was cool to go up on it , it took you of just up part way , but it was really awesome

thank you so much for sharing those old pictures. I've never seen those before. I've done the incline four times, three times before the new refurbishing and once after. it is definitely a rough climb but still a beautiful view from the top👍👍

We used to take out of town guests up the incline. The seats were tilted back- you’d be leaning back at the start and then straight up as the tram went up the steep parts.
