This is a straight shot that goes up over 2000 ft in about a mile distance. Up a bunch of railroad ties. It's about an average 40% grade.
And a little over an hour later... here we are at the TOP!
Here's a little video I took. But it's kinda hard to capture the steepness with pics or video....
To come back down, you jog-hop-trip-slide the Barr Trail, cuz it'd be too dangerous and tedious to down-climb those incline steps.
The kids hike-climbed like champs. What a cool hike... can't believe we have lived in the Springs all these years and just got to this...
