Good luck finding a parking place.

I'll carpool if anybody else wants to park for free without the hassle...

Or you could try Castle Rocks new mini incline they call Challenge Hill. 200 1 foot tall steps so you would have to do 10 laps to equal the Manitou incline. Free parking right at the base in the new Phillip S. Miller city park. Very well built, perfect steps for climbing.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." (Theodore Roosevelt)

Re: Manitou Springs Incline Reopening!
I'm planning on going straight to work at Peterson afterwards. I can meet you at Rudy's on 31st Street at 9 AM if you want to carpool? That should put me at the base of the Incline by about 9:45…globreal wrote:What time are you going?jrs1965 wrote:I have a coworker that lives near the traffic circle on Ruxton, free parking!Jim Davies wrote:Good luck finding a parking place.
