In what's become an annual tradition, Manitou Springs firefighters and first responders are taking to the steps of the Manitou Incline to honor the men and women that died in the 9/11 attacks 23 years ago. Reminiscent to the firefighters that responded to the 2001 terrorist attack, attendees will be decked in full firefighting gear as they climb the over 2,700 stairs to the top of the Incline. The hike is symbolic of the final climb that many first responders made up the steps of the Twin Towers. First responders will gather at the base of the Incline at 8 a.m. and begin the trek up the staircase following opening remarks.
