The INCLINE!

At Marty's Birthday Dinner Megelyn said
"hey do you guys want to hike "the incline" with me?"

We looked at her like a couple "deer in the headlights"
So she explained that it is just a 1 mile hike up part of Pikes Peak.
So what's the catch??
In the 1 mile you make a 3,000 ft elevation gain!!
There are uneven stairs in the side of the mountain made with railroad ties.
They go straight up the mountain. 


Looking down.  This in no way does it justice.



At the top!  Whew!




Looking down from the top!

During it was a bit intense!  However we will certainly do it again.
It was nice to take 4 miles to go down after the "fast" hike to the top!
