There used to be a small gauge railway that climbed up from Manitou Springs to the top of Rocky Mountain, just east of Pike’s Peak. In 1990, a rock slide ended the run of that train and massively damaged the tracks. In it’s place, the local residents created a hiking/climbing path to the top of the mountain in the clearing where the tracks had been. There are nearly 2800 steps to this stairway, some of the inclines reach 68%, making it a challenge for most hikers.
