This beautiful mountain is the most visited mountain in North America with spectacular views and wildlife. There are three ways to get to the summit: taking the 8.9 mile cog railway train, the 19 mile Pikes Peak Highway (which is paved and open year-round, weather permitting), or by hiking the 13 mile Barr Trail. Make sure you dress warmly, if you decide to visit the top, as it is much colder at that altitude (14,115 ft above sea level).

You think you are fit? How about at 7,000 ft? Still feeling cocky? Test yourself along with other fitness fanatics at the famous Manitou Incline where you will conquer a 2,000 foot altitude increase over just one mile. If you look carefully, you can see the incline from the back deck. And, if you look really carefully, you might just see the tears of sore hikers on their way up.
