CAFFEINATED CLIMB
Coffee, Donuts & Community at the Summit
What We Do
Every Thanksgiving morning, our team hauls coffee, donuts, and good vibes up 2,744 steps to the top of the Manitou Incline — one of the most iconic trails in Colorado.
At the summit, we greet every hiker with a piping hot cup of coffee and a fresh donut. No catch, no cost — just a moment of surprise, kindness, and community.
