"Little Colorado"...Northeast Ohio's version of one of Colorado's most challenging climbs, "The Manitou Incline."
About the Manitou Incline: Referred to by locals as simply ‘the Incline’, this popular but strenuous hike is not for the faint of heart. After climbing 2,000 vertical feet in only 0.9 of a mile, 2,768 steps, with a climbing grade up to 60%, you’ll finally reach the summit. As they say in Colorado, "It's like a Stairmaster, but outside!"
