Hidden between the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak, America’s most famous mountain, lies the magical town of Manitou Springs. “Manitou,” a Native American word for “spirit,” describes this beautiful mountain community. Our city of 5000 residents was settled in the 1870’s, and was known for the mineral springs that continue to run in various fountains thru out the downtown area. The 6,000-foot elevation and invigorating air quality also attract others for living conditions. There are a multitude of fine restaurants, bed and breakfasts and classic motels, as well as the opportunity to be near hiking and biking trails on our nearby hillsides that are just a stone’s throw away.
