9 days in Manitou Springs Itinerary

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

Your day by day itinerary now includes Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, and other attractions you added. Miramont Castle Museum and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Get some cultural insight at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center and Cripple Creek District Museum. Explore Manitou Springs' surroundings by going to Canon City (Royal Gorge Anglers, Gold Belt Tour Scenic Byway - Day Tours, &more), Cripple Creek (Casino at the Double Eagle Hotel, Bronco Billy's Casino, &more) and Victor (Victor Lowell Thomas Museum & Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company). There's lots more to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, walk around Manitou Springs Memorial Park, play a few rounds at Shining Mountain Golf Course, and get outside with Adventures Out West.
