This is an amazing place to camp. No water or bathrooms and you have to get your own firewood. Dispearsed camping makes you do a lot more than a campground. But being by yourself is really a cool experience!

This National Forest encompasses numerous trails and features. We descended on the Barr Trail after ascending The Manitou Incline to enjoy the beautiful views back into Manitou Springs. However, you can use the Barr Trail in the opposite direction to ascend Pikes Peak.

This is not an easy climb. You gain a LOT of altitude quickly in this hike. Be prepared! Bring water (I wore a Camelback) and electrolyte gummies were a big help. Pace yourself and take your time and you can do it! I am 64 and have RRMS. The oldest hiker on the incline that day was 90 years old and he made it! #dohardthings

Nice ride on the train to get here. The scenery is amazing. The shop is very nice with a great selection. The staff are helpful and friendly. Nice services in the right place. The water is a must for sure. The altitude is really something. It took the wife 2 days to recover. She is fine. I did have a couple of times it was a little difficult to catch my breath. Give yourself a little time before moving very quick. Even when you get back to the train station. I do definitely recommend this.

Been here a couple times camping and it is absolutely stunning. I could drive for 12 hours in any direction in the US and not see a place as beautiful. The only issue I had this time were the dirt roads that were so bad my body was still vibrating for 15 minutes after stopping. This wasn't a problem the first time camping there about a year and a half ago but this time I was afraid I was going to break a ball joint on my Jeep. There have been some heavy logging machinery up there so I suspect their tracks did it because of the road became more like a regular dirt road after I we got past those. All in all this is the most amazing experience I've ever had while camping and one of the most amazing experiences ever. Five stars EASILY. If you do want to get a good camping spot though and it doesn't matter if it's a Monday or not and you're going to want to get there fairly early. We parked in a camp spot at least a mile away from anybody else and some random old guy jogging by got mad that our dog barked at him. Dude needs a reality check because nobody keeps their dog on a leash in the middle of a forest. Otherwise a GREAT experience. Highly recommend! Just watch out for angry old men jogging miles away from their camp site LoL
