The last time I visited Manitou Springs, the Incline was closed due to Covid. I might need to make another trip, after all, you make it seem so easy and I’m in such great shape. (Both lies, of course.)
Did something similar but a bit shorter on a “nice morning walk up in Kaninaskis”. Going up a couple of thousand feet verticals wasn’t too bad although I devoured the peanut butter and jam sandwiches that my host had carried along. I hate peanut butter. However, I did not know that the walking down a steep slope would be pain upon pain. Your legs make you want to die by half way and you collapse at the bottom. At least I did in pain before I reached the car and the blessed relief of immobility.
I just had knee surgery called a uni and it isn't that bad I walked the first day and I am 71. Don't screw around and abide the hurt. Get it done now and avoid a total replacement. I love your articles. I was raised on the big Mesa East of Grand Junction. I love CO but moved to Montana which is even more spectacular and now live in the Bitterroot Mountains 1 mile from the wilderness.

Incredible. Hope the beer was worth it
You impressed this girl!
Now, go schedule that doc appointment and get the MRI. 😉
