Get Familiar with the Incline and Barr Trail: The Manitou Incline and Barr Trail are two of the most fabulous hikes in Manitou Springs and its surrounding metro areas, thanks to their challenging elevation gains and all the friends you will make along the trail. Barr Trail spans over 12 miles and leads to the summit of Pikes Peak, which stands at 14,116 feet. However, it is significantly longer, and Barr Trail shares a similar difficulty level with the Manitou Incline. The Incline is a much shorter hike, but it attracts hikers from all over Colorado and beyond due to its steep 68% grade and an elevation gain of 2,000 feet in less than a mile.
