A scenic mountain backdrop and a small-town feel both make Manitou Springs one of El Paso County’s most desirable residential areas. Nestled in the foothills of Pikes Peak, Manitou residents enjoy convenient travel access to all of Southern Colorado. Highway 24 passes over Manitou Avenue, leading west to Woodland Park and all of the beauty that the Rocky Mountains have to offer. Interstate 25 is just a few minutes east of the city, while a short drive on Colorado Avenue leads through Old Colorado City and into the heart of downtown Colorado Springs.

Everyone will find something to satisfy their interests in and around Manitou Springs. Gift shops, art galleries, and natural mineral springs line the historic district along Manitou Avenue. The Manitou Brewing Company and a host of other casual restaurants offer food for every taste, while fine dining options abound, including the Mona Lisa Fondue Restaurant, the Briarhurst Manor Estate, and the Cliff House. The Penny Arcade sits at the heart of it all, furnishing classic games of skill and modern arcade cabinets for every entertainment need. For the more adventurous, the Cave of the Winds features a variety of underground tours for the whole family, and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings paint a picture of Colorado from the days of the ancient Anasazi.

All of the magnificence of the Front Range can be seen altogether from the top of the Manitou Incline. However, the summit of Pikes Peak holds the best view of the area and can be reached through a drive up the Pikes Peak Highway, a hike up Barr Trail, or a ride on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway.
