Sept 1, 2017–From the City of Colorado Springs:
Attention hikers! There will be additional closures to the Manitou Incline and connections to Barr Trail over the Labor Day weekend, Sept. 3 – 4, to allow for a helicopter to deliver construction materials. The trail will remain closed at the base of the Incline and the bailout area to Barr Trail. In addition, the connector trail to Barr Trail at the top of the Incline will be closed. Please observe the closures for your safety and stay out of the no fly zone so that the helicopter can complete these deliveries and keep the project moving forward!
