5 days in Manitou Springs Itinerary

Manitou Springs' main street was once a trail that led directly to the base of Pike's Peak.

Family-friendly places like Cave of the Winds Mountain Park and Pikes Peak - America's Mountain will thrill your kids. Change things up with these side-trips from Manitou Springs: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Canon City (Skyline Drive, Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours, &more). There's much more to do: explore the activities along Manitou Springs Incline, see the interesting displays at Miramont Castle Museum, explore the ancient world of Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and trek along Barr Trail to Pikes Peak.
