Printed on this undated postcard: “Mt. Manitou Park, Manitou, Colo. / A thousand acre park on top of Mt. Manitou, 9,500 feet above sea level. / Ten thousand square miles of scenery within the range of vision.” Completed in 1907, the Incline was a 1 mile cable tram built to support the construction of a hydroelectric plant. The railway was then bought and turned into an attraction. The Incline boasted a 16 minute ride to “scenic splendors,” 10 miles of hiking trails in Mount Manitou Park and claimed to be the “longest and highest incline on the globe.” Mayall Photograph Collection, Courtesy of Eric Swab Stan Payne Collection, Pikes Peak Library District
