About Manitou Springs

Manitou Springs is a small, walkable mountain town known for its natural mineral springs, historic Manitou Avenue, the Manitou Incline, and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. It punches well above its size for quirky local traditions — the Emma Crawford Coffin Races in October and the Great Fruitcake Toss in January draw crowds from across the region.
