Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12 miles west of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Alex & Michelle rode the train to the top before they started dating back in 2014. Yes, the donuts at the top are worth it!

the Manitou Incline is a popular hiking trail rising above Manitou Springs, near Colorado Springs. The trail is the remains of a former 3 ft narrow gauge funicular railway whose tracks washed out during a rock slide in 1990.

The Incline is famous for its sweeping views and steep grade, with an average grade of 45% and as steep as 68% in places, making it a fitness challenge for all. The incline gains 2,011 feet of elevation in 0.88 miles horizontal. Currently the Incline has approximately 2,744 steps from the bottom to the summit, although the top step is numbered "2768". The number of steps changes occasionally with trail maintenance and deterioration.

Michelle's record is 1 hour, 24 minutes to the top... can you beat it?

The town was founded for its natural mineral springs. The downtown area continues to be of interest to travelers, particularly in the summer, as the downtown area consists of many one-story, adjoining, small shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as a creekside city park with a children's playground made from unusual materials. The main road through the center of town was one of the direct paths to the base of Pikes Peak

Alex & Michelle love wandering through Manitou Springs, the Penny arcade is among Alex's favorite spots, while Michelle loves the Lavender store!
