About Manitou Springs
Manitou Springs is a small but vibrant Colorado mountain town just six miles west of downtown Colorado Springs. It’s a popular place, particularly in the summer, as the downtown area features many small shops, restaurants, and bars, as well as a creekside city park with a children's playground. There are numerous natural mineral springs dotted throughout Historic Manitou Springs and are still available to the public. The native tribes considered the eruption of bubbles in the mineral water the breath of the Great Spirit “Manitou.”
At the heart of Manitou Springs is the Manitou Incline, which stretches up Pikes Peak with an elevation gain of 2,000 feet. It is, perhaps, the most unique and challenging trail in the country, attracting runners, Olympic athletes, and cyclists from around the world.
