Matt's 65th Birthday
The Incline Experience
A week of family, connection, and one unforgettable climb.
September 1–9, 2027·Colorado Springs, Colorado
This isn't just a birthday trip — it's a week to come together, explore, and celebrate Matt's 65th in a meaningful way. We'll be staying in the Colorado Springs area, sharing a home, enjoying time as a family, and taking on a group experience at the Manitou Incline. Whether you climb every step or simply come to enjoy the moment, this week is about connection, presence, and creating lasting memories — together.
This isn't just a trip — it's a moment.
The Manitou Incline
The Manitou Incline is a unique and rewarding challenge — and a little preparation will go a long way. Over the next several months, the goal is simple: consistency over perfection.
Walk 3–4 times a week, gradually add hills or stairs, and build endurance at your own pace. Consistency over perfection.
