This is a straight up trail which is really a giant stair case. It used to be a railway. It goes up onto the beginnings of Pikes Peak. Quick vertical gain of 2000 feet. It took us 44 minutes to go up. Thankfully we went down via a nice hiking trail so we didn't have to go down the steep stairs. This is the Barr trail. To climb Pikes Peak you could go up the Barr trail but this 13 miles one way so it would be a two day event. The Crags trail in the other hand is 14 mikes RT so that could be done in a day.
Nice sunny warm day today. We went in the morning which was nice since it was cooler.
