Manitou Springs

Manitoids have long taken pride in keeping Manitou weird; the bumper sticker says so. The unique incorporated town is rich in history and creativity, and it's the gateway to Pikes Peak. Barr Trail leads up the Peak, and the lung-busting Manitou Incline is legendary. You can sample mineral-rich spring waters at various fountains around town. The housing market mirrors the eclectic and diverse vibe. You can find stately (and not-so-stately) Victorian homes, historic cabins, creekside condos, Southwestern adobes, funky hillside perches and sprawling custom showpieces high in the surrounding foothills.
