Hello my friends, very interesting hike. The stairs will be tough. The views were worth it. Thanks for sharing this adventure. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.

[@TravelSzN]

Thanks for watching!

[@thousandmiles4473]

Wow... awesome...we are visiting Colorado next week...do you know any options for Pikes peak apart from driving or the rail......?

[@TravelSzN]

oh have fun in Colorful CO! It looks like you can hike 14.5 mi from Crags Campground to Pikes Peak www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/colorado/pikes-peak-from-the-crags-trail or it is only 5.5 miles roundtrip if you park at the Devil's Playground area (still need to drive up near it) www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/colorado/pikes-peak-from-devils-playground

The numbering on the stairs is so good❤️❤️🚶‍♂️ i enjoyed ur hiking👍

[@TravelSzN]

thank you!

[@NatureBeauty_11]

Before seeing this video, I hated to climb steps for hiking, but this is so awesome!! Going up the over 2,000 steps straight to the top of the mountain looks very challengable and the views looked down are so awesome! I've gone up almost 1,000 steps, though it was not straight up. I wish we have one in my nation, too. It was fun to watch!👍🤗

[@TravelSzN]

wow nice! thank you for your comment :)

[@hdi4eva-castlesbydrone531]

Oh wow. Neverending stairs. Nice Dolly Zoom Intro. This is an amazing hike, but probably good that there are so many bailout points. Looks like very much fun and it must be a great feeling when you finally finished the exhausting challenge. Great video presentation again, Stoof and Nate. It was a joy to watch.👏👌 Best wishes, Michael

[@TravelSzN]

Thanks for watching Michael! It was challenging but worth it :)

[@CelticPaths4k]

Amazing place, so challenging but totally must worth it. Very beautiful scenery and views 👍

[@TravelSzN]

yep definitely worth it! thanks for watching!

[@davidgupta9248]

Yeah Steph you are right!👍we should listen to our body while doing these strenuous hiking adventures!👍but really a thrilling experience!👍 You have given every detail including the only 10 dollar parking information!👍 thank you for sharing another thrilling hiking adventure with us friend!👍 take care and stay blessed Steph!💐

[@TravelSzN]

Absolutely! thanks for watching David! :)

[@mikesvlogcanada5904]

Wow! Quite a slope. It looks wonderful place. Cost of parking is very attractive. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏💜💜🇨🇦

[@swisssights]

Wow! Amazing hike with so many steps! Thank you for sharing my friends! Big like from the swiss alps!

[@mohunter83]

You should try the Infinity loop coming back down. Gives you some great views and doesnt change the distance much. Once you get to the top take the Barr Trail back down to the bailout. Follow incline down to the northern incline return. This is my heaven on earth.

[@TravelSzN]

Thanks for the tip! It is an amazing hike!

[@TravellersPeek]

Wow, that's a very long hike to do! Very interesting. Nice share. I enjoyed it. BiG❤👍

[@TravelSzN]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AJKCChannel]

Such a great experience to captured this amazing place. Prefect place to explore. Walking on the steps is really. Amazing experience. New friend added. All the way from London.

[@whattovisitinromania5044]

Wonderful landscapes! I think it's very challenging, but it's a great feeling after getting to the final point! 😁👌❤️

[@TravelSzN]

thank you for watching! it was challenging but rewarding :D

[@donroy7825]

Wow ! What an impressive hike ! You get amazing views very quickly 😊. The extra loop looks worthwhile also. Nice wee town too !! Greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, cheers, Don 👋

[@zloading1]

Can you go straight back down the incline once to the top or do you have to take the switchbacks to go back down?

[@randystebbins5733]

@@zloading1 You can go back down, but it is not recommended. The railroad ties are very uneven in places and at a 68 degree grade in places, it is dangerous. That being said, lots of people do go back down the incline. I've done the incline once and I would not, as a 69 year old guy, go back down it. The trail is nice. I just moved to Colorado Springs recently and will definitely go back to the incline. It is an awesome thing to do here, but harder than I thought.

[@DavidBONG-MYSG]

Awesome video my dear friend. Loves all these adventure and hiking. Of course awesome view too. Thank you for sharing and wish you a wonderful day. Like 33 👍👍👍❤️🥰🙏🏻

[@TravelSzN]

thank you!

[@ArcticNatureExperiences]

Wow - this is a staircase into the clouds:) I can imagine that you get all sorts of feelings ranging from despair to jubilation while walking up the incline. But if you reach the top then you feel great and happy I can imagine:) In my country we have stated to build something called "Sherpa trails". That is like the Incline, but mostly using stones as the building material for the steps. The reason why it is called "Sherpa trails" is because they are built by Nepalese Sherpas experienced in building trails in difficult places:)

[@TravelSzN]

oh very cool! the Sherpa trails sound challenging too! thanks for watching!

[@znatureviews4976]

It’s very relaxing to be there❣️ Thank you, best regards

[@TravelSzN]

thank you! definitely worth it!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nah it's easy but they went the wrong way and gotta start over

[@travelxstasy]

Wow. That looks looks a hard climb. So many stairs. But the views are amazing. I wonder if one day they build back the funicular railway which once existed there. 😀

[@TravelSzN]

Yeah that would be pretty interesting to bring that history back! Thanks for your comment!

[@kod-ee-wom-pl]

[@EasyHikes4810]

Excellent cardio workout😁🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️!! Looked like... never-ending stairs! 17mn record 😲that's incredible. Was he the Bionic Man?? We have a similar trail where we live called the Goat Track (about half the steps though) that we do twice a week to keep in shape. This manitou incline, I am not sure my wife and I would do this twice a week😆. Great upload and info as always👍

[@TravelSzN]

nice! yes 17 minutes is crazy, it took us over an hour to go the 1 mile up the steps! thanks for watching :)

Wow, climbing that ladder can take your knees to the next level! :)

Thank you very much!

[@bfoz]

Very unique hike

[@ShredaSpud]

Coming from 1000ft elevation on the plains, is 1 or 2 days enough to acclimate? I really want to climb this. 7 years out on a bone marrow transplant for leukemia x 2.

[@TravelSzN]

Hi! Everyone acclimates differently. We both live at 1000' elevation but we were in the mountains for about a month before doing this hike. It was pretty challenging even being used to the elevation! I would say go for it, and there are a few places along the hike up where you can turn down a side trail back to the bottom of that incline if your body is not feeling good! You don't have to go to the top!

[@AsiaCityTour]

Thanks my friend for sharing beautiful ❤️ place enjoy your trip love from Sihanoukville Cambodia 💕💗

I have never heard of this place but damn, that looks like a hard climb!!!! I think most people would have given up by just looking at it! HAHAHAHA! LIKE 28. Full watch as I have never been or heard of this place. LIKE 28. 👍👍

[@TravelSzN]

thank you!

[@jeremyking3986]

I’ve watched four videos so far on this hike up the incline, and not one video, said how long it takes to hike to the top, or to do the whole loop🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TravelSzN]

If you look at the link in the video description, you can see the distance for the hike on AllTrails.

[@jeremyking3986]

@@TravelSzN I know the distances, but 2 people can walk the same mile in different times, I was just trying to get an idea of the pace and time for a normal person, so I could adjust my expectations accordingly. I’m a little out of shape and would probably stop and rest more than others, plus I’m coming from Florida, so I’m sure the elevation will play a part. But thank you.

[@Dsabre1]

How did you prepare for the hike?

[@TravelSzN]

We did this hike after spending weeks hiking in Zion, Arches, and Canyonlands National Parks. The stairs were still tough, but I think doing strenuous hikes the five weeks before this hike helped prepare us!

[@ebchacon]

I've done the Rim 2 Rim @ The Grand Canyon. I'm putting this on my to do list. Awesome video!

[@TravelSzN]

that's awesome, the rim to rim hike is on our list to do some day!

[@WhereTheRoadTakesUs]

Great vlog. I don't know about you but I think that the numbers on the steps would make it worse for me!

[@TravelSzN]

haha this is true, the numbers might make it more difficult for some people! i personally liked the numbers lol that way i could not get in my own head and tell myself i was barely making progress. i can see this working the opposite way for some people mentally, though!

[@northleafcanadawalks]

But they have a city lot for free and then take the shuttle to the base
