Manitou Springs
We visited several different places while staying in this area and so I created separate pages for each.
I would like to say I could easily live in this area. The scenery is breath taking, the homes wonderful and the people very nice. If anyone is heading out West for a vacation, be sure to visit the Manitou Springs area. I promise you will not be disappointed in all the area has to offer.
Our journey up from Santa Fe took us over the Raton pass and I included these photos as well. There was so much more to see and do and I wished we could have stayed longer to visit these places but we were limited on time and had to move on.
