Reservations
Advance Reservations Required for Pikes Peak and Incline Trails
Access to the Pikes Peak Highway frequently requires a timed entry reservation, distinct from any local parking permits in the town center. The Manitou Incline also utilizes a reservation system to manage hiker volume; check the official city portal as systems are subject to change. Accommodation in the canyon fills quickly during peak summer months, so verify booking confirmations well in advance of arrival.
