MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — A three-year-old boy had no problem tackling a hike that many adults can't handle in Colorado!

Caselyn Navarro , the mother of three-year-old Julian, tells News5 her son was able to conquer more than 2,700 steps without any help recently.

"That was all him doing the incline," Navarro wrote to News5. "Baby steps and all. I just stayed behind him to make sure he didn’t fall back, and when the stairs were a little too high, I’d tell him to crawl."

Video shared with News5 showed Julian stepping up the Incline like a champ, taking the occasional snack break. He finished the hike with a group of people cheering him on at the top, and he still had plenty of energy to pull off a little victory dance!

As with any age or experience level, you may not want to try tackling such a physically demanding activity without consulting a doctor.
