Manitou Springs - Legend has it that the Ute Indian tribes from the mountains met the Arapaho and other Plains tribes in peace to worship the god that breathed into the waters to create the natural effervescence of the springs and give them curative powers. This Great Spirit is called Manitou in Algonquin
Manitou Springs is a wonderful artistic culturally diverse community rich in Indian culture. It has been called the Saratoga of the west and there is so much to do, Hiking, Biking, Pikes Peak Cog Rail, Pikes Peak Hwy. Cave of the Winds, ancient Cliff Dwellings, 7 Falls, Air Force Academy and one of my favorites, Garden Of The Gods, just to mention a few.
