Mt Manitou (9,429 ft)
8/4/06

Class: 2
Distance: 8 miles
Gain: 2850
Route: Incline to J-Pipe trail

Just a quick hike before work up the Incline to the Rocky Mountain trail. Followed Longs Ranch Road back towards Barr Trail then went off trail towards the summit. The cloud ceiling was about 200 ft below the summit so there was no view. Lots of lady bugs. We signed the summit log which was seldom used. Got turned around coming back down and hit Longs Ranch Road a little further down the hill. Headed back to the Incline and took Barr Trail down from there. Got to work a little late but a nice start to the day.
