‘Inclined to Say Yes’: Out-of-towners get engaged on the Manitou Incline
KRDO News
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Colorado Springs is an area filled with stunning views and adventurous trails. It’s a great place to make memories, and one Ohio couple decided to commemorate their trip to the incline.
Colton Reed and his then-girlfriend hiked the nearly 2,800 steps up the incline. He got down on one knee and popped the question. She, of course, said yes!
KRDO13 was able to catch up to the newly engaged couple to hear how their special moment came together for the surprise engagement.
“Some friends and I were talking about it and said, ‘Hey, if you were gonna propose, that would be the perfect spot,'” said Colton.
“My daughter even knew about it, my 8-year-old– Showed her the ring and everything. Knew about the thing the whole time and kept it a secret from mom,” said McKaya Justus.
Colton and McKaya say they’ve known each other for years, and that they spend a lot of time working out together — which includes hiking.
