~ The City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department has announced that the Manitou Incline Trail will experience several temporary closures throughout the month of September. These closures are due to multiple events scheduled on both the Incline and Barr trails.

On September 11th, the Manitou Incline Trail will be closed from 6-9 a.m. in order to accommodate the 9th annual Firefighter Incline Climb. This event is held in commemoration of 9/11.

Additionally, on September 20th, the Manitou Incline Trail will be closed for the entire day for the Pikes Peak Ascent. This closure is necessary for the safety of participants and spectators.
