Bernie- there is a sign towards the bottom so that people going up can see it. Coming down, you'd never see it. I just hope the talks turn out best for everyone. There are a lot of people that love the Incline and also a lot of people that finish it and have such a sense of accomplishment that it inspires me!

Is that really true? I ran up Barr and came down the Incline and never saw any signs. There must've been at least 50 people on their way up. If I was trespassing, I sincerely apologize to whomever it may concern. It seemed a natural part of the trail system to an out-of-towner.

Here is the official info on the Incline public meeting:
Block out the evening of Thursday, June 24th on your calendar. That’s date of the first of a series of public meetings that will provide everyone the opportunity to have a hand in creating a management plan for the Manitou Incline. The plan is important because it will guide future decision-making about public recreation at the Incline. Please arrive for the workshop at 7 p.m. at Manitou City Hall, 606 Manitou Ave.
As you know, the Incline is private property and posted “No Trespassing.” Public access on the Incline is not allowed and trespassing is illegal.
For more information, please contact Aimee Cox at 719-385-5632, or aicos@springsgov.com

What's the record for running down the incline? Though I didn't time it, I took some pictures near the top, middle and bottom of my run and think I ran it in about 15 minutes. I'd love to know what the record is should I ever go back and do it again.

Has anyone else seen the bear that crosses at the bottom? He was very friendly, no cubs, and went right on down to check the trash at the Cog. Its so nice when we can respect each other and share space! Saw him around 6pm on Thursday
