The Manitou Incline is the ultimate physical challenge climbing over 2000 feet in less than 1 mile.  Just when you think you have finally reached the top, you realize you are only part way up the 2768 step challenge.  This is an advanced trail for seasoned runners and hikers.  The goal: hike in under an hour.  The accomplishment: Hiked on my 45th birthday in 58 minutes.
