Hidden between the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs has been the quintessential tourist town since the 1870s, when visitors discovered the healing waters the Ute Indians had been drinking for years. Many of the town's mineral springs still function today and the water is free. There are nine named mineral springs throughout the town fed by the snows of Pikes Peak.
It's a laid-back community where attitudes and clothes are casual. There are lots of fun shops that line the downtown main street and lots of locally made Arts and Crafts that you can check out as you walk the town. Besides being home to several world-class, cozy, historic motels and Victorian Bed and Breakfasts, to fully restored and grand, elegant buildings, it also has a wide selection of nationally famous restaurants and neighborhood eateries. The historic mansion, Miramont Castle, is a must-see!
Of course, the overshadowing attraction is Pikes Peak itself, and in Manitou you can catch the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which slowly winds its way up the mountain to the 14,000-foot summit.
It's said the word Manitou means “great spirit,” and you'll certainly find that here!
