The Incline is famous for its sweeping views and steep grade- making it a fitness challenge for locals of the Colorado Springs area. It has 2011 steep steps. Sarah(my daughter) and I did this hike December 2016. Even though she was way faster than me, I did make it. Loved the beautiful 3 miles hike back down, also.

When we first moved to Colorado Springs, we went and did this hike. At that time, it was the hardest hike we had ever done and the most beautiful. We saw a waterfall, beautiful Aspens, and a lake. It has a lot of elevation so bring good shoes.

Wonderful easy trial. You really walk over seven bridges and see a waterfall at the begining.
You will have options at this parking lot to do other trails. Very beautiful and gives you a view of what Colorado has to offer.

The Royal Gorge is a beautiful train ride through the scenic mountains. I highly recommend to take the ride during Christmas time or when the leaves change in the fall.

This place was on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives (but not sure why, it definitely wasn't a dive). The food here IS delicious and if you have a hankering for Italian, it will not disappoint. 1.6 miles from house.
