Am I wrong or the article does not mention on which peak, hill or mountain the incline is located? --Manfariel (talk) 22:49, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, @Manfariel: The incline, and now the trail, ascends Mount Manitou, a foot-"hill" of Pike's Peak in the Rocky Mountains.

I clarified in the Lede and the History that the incline and the now the trail ascend Mount Manitou.

As a child, the neighbor kids and I would save our money to periodically ride the incline to the top, buy a hotdog at the snack bar, and walk on trails towards Pike's Peak. The water in the little streams was so clear that it looked invisible. It was so beautiful that even us kids appreciated the scenery. Fortunately, we always got back to the incline and home before the temperature dropped. I don't remember if we ever told our parents where we went (probably not). Now, I doubt that I can hike up those stairs without an incline to ride. B^)

If you have the fitness to accomplish the trek, try it sometime. I promise you that that the beauty is real. All the best, Wordreader (talk) 14:32, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
