The Manitou Incline

Is hiking the Manitou Incline legal?

This is the most common question I receive. My answer is unfortunately, not yet. However change is very close. An agreement has been reached with the Cog Railway to allow hiking access. New trail routing has been designed. New parking plans are in progress. It is possible that this summer the Manitou Incline will be legal.
