Those who love stair steppers might want to try this place in Colorado.  I get pains in my knees just looking at it.  What a view you'd get at the top though.

WOW, I would love to try that!  And you right about the view, awesome!  I loved when I was in Colorado, I sure miss it now.  The exercise trails out there were spectacular. I need to go back again.  Thanks for posting.

@Kachina624     I can walk UP stairs fine....but I have trouble coming down.   Would there be an elevator there, by any chance?   di

The fact there is no railing freaks me out.

@Desertdi.  I'm guessing not.  As in riding a horse, its easy to ride up a steep slope, terrible painful to the knees riding down.

@Meowingkitty.  I miss the presence of benches for resting.  Dont forget, there will also be an altitude factor.

I climbed up some mountain trail in Hawaii about 10 years ago. Never again lol. It looks very interesting though @Kachina624.

Oh that's great, have never heard of this place, thanks for posting!  It's a 1/2 hour away so easy drive.

 

Wonder if @SilleeMee would be game to come up from the Springs lol.  And @Kachina624  road trip!

@rockygems123.  Love road trips but not when you have to work that hard!  Where is this place?  Looks like Eastern Plains.

 

I signed up for a free daily newsletter called Only in Colorado.  Beautiful pics and I get to re-visit places I've been and learn about new ones.  I've really enjoyed it.

It says Parker on the pic caption but it's actually Castle Rock and is southeast of Denver by about 20 - 30 minutes.

 

Yeah, that'd be a workout.  We have beautiful trails where we are which southwest of the city up against the foothills of the Rockies.  Not so many stairs ha.
