上週四利用到Crested Butte賞花之便特地繞道Colorado Springs去攀登附近的景點~The Incline,The Manitou Incline或簡稱The Incline(中文的“斜坡”很難表達此景點的特色,我姑且以天梯稱之)位在科羅拉多大城Colorado Springs西邊的觀光小鎮Manitou Springs,該天梯(The Incline)建於1907年,建造之初是作為纜車的軌道,而該纜車是為了運送當年在Pikes Peak山頂建造供應Manitou Springs和Colorado Springs的給水工程的材料之用,該給水工程竣工之後轉變為觀光旅遊景點。

除了埋頭苦爬外,利用休息喘息片刻回望一下上來的路及遠眺東邊Colorado Springs。

天梯頂端展望頗佳,東面俯瞰Manitou Springs及遠方的Colorado Springs,左方幾片紅色巨岩處是Gardern of the Gods Park。
