“ Got a sticker for the manitou incline here! Cute shop and I believe they sell snacks and coffee too. ”
“ The Incline is no joke. I do it a couple times a week now that I moved here. Keep in mind that you now have to make a free reservation thru the city portal to do the Incline since Covid. ”
“ The start to the top. Only bummer was we rushed to make it down by 4:30 as they closed at 5 and we wanted souvenirs. But the guy was locking up just before 4:30. We saw him lock up as we walked to the store. ”
“ Very nice and sweet employees Asked for their favorite spot to eat, favorite things to do around town and they did not disappoint! Also, you can tell all these drinks are made with love, their "monthly specials" board is very cute and unique! These girls deserve a raise, putting up with people's multiple drink orders, constant shirt folding and even helping hikers that have fainted ”
“ The incline is no joke. Took us about an hour and twenty five minutes to complete it. We were visiting from chicago and being up in high elevation made it really hard to breathe and catch our breath. After 20 stops we made it to the top, and it was totally worth the struggle! ... ”
“ They have snacks, drinks, t-shirts, sticker, magnets, posters, and pretty much anything you can think of for an attraction gift shop. ”
“ Store hours online listed open Monday. Got there and they were closed. Called and some one came over to open the store since I'm from out of town. I'd give 10 stars if I could. That's amazing service! ”
“ Extremely challenging but fun hike! Bring canned air if you’re not from around here. The gift shop only took cash, then closed in the middle is the day for lunch. They literally kicked people out and shut the lights off on us while we were looking at souvenirs. ”
