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...

Awesome! My butt and thighs hurt just from looking at this post.
Gorgeous...and a little terrifying! Reminds me of the 14-er that we hiked that one year. I truly thought I was moments away from falling to my certain death on more than a few occasions!
