The INCLINE

We did it!
Way more fun to see where you've been than where you still have to go!

Steeeeeep! At it's steepest, the incline is a 68% grade!

It's .8 mile up, but it ascends 2500 feet. Crazy!
It's technically a de-commissoned Cog Railroad and is "technically" private property. Tell that to the thousands of hikers who frequent it!
Still Smiling! It took us (well me, I was the hold-up) 1 hour and 14 minutes to make it up, and about 45 minutes to get down the 4-mile trail that zig-zags down the mountain. I'm up for going again soon!
