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.”
