Exploring Colorado: Manitou Springs and McNally's First Day Out
Exploring Colorado: Manitou Springs and McNally's First Day Out
Our RV is at the shop so we make a trip to Manitou Springs while also taking McNally out for the first time. We really enjoyed Manitou Springs, Colorado and all it had to offer.
It was dog friendly and the mineral waters are worth trying. We'd suggest you swing by if you find yourself in the Colorado Springs area.
We recently adopted McNally from Breeder Release Adoption Service in Colorado (they're also in Arizona and New Mexico) and highly recommend going through them if you're looking to rescue a new companion!
The blanket you see him on in the car was given to the shelter (and then to us) from an awesome group called Wrapped in Love. They make and donate blankets to rescue shelters:

Manitou Springs Colorado
Manitou Springs is a home rule municipality located in El Paso County, Colorado, United States. The town was founded for its scenic setting and natural mineral springs. The downtown area continues to be of interest to travelers, particularly in the summer, as the downtown area consists of many one-story, adjoining, small shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as a creekside city park with a children's playground made from unusual materials. Among other services, shops cater to tourist interests such as clothing, candy, souvenirs, and outdoor recreation. The main road through the center of town was one of the direct paths to the base of Pikes Peak. Barr Trail, which winds its way up Pikes Peak, is accessible from town. The subdivision Crystal Hills was added to the municipality in the 1960s.
General William Jackson Palmer and Dr. William Abraham Bell founded Manitou Springs in 1872, intending the town to be a scenic health resort. Dr Bell's home, Briarhurst Manor, is open to the public as a fine dining restaurant, which is listed on the National Register of Historic places. In 1876, the town was incorporated. Manitou Springs has been the quintessential tourist town since the 1870s, when visitors discovered the healing waters the Ute Indians had been drinking for years. Many of the town's mineral springs still function today and the water is free.
Attractions:
Cave of the Winds, cave complex; tours given daily
The Iron Springs Chateau Melodrama Dinner Theater, located on Ruxton Avenue, is a dinner theatre for families and adults.

Twin Spring, Spring Water: Manitou Springs
Twin Spring Spring water is a local favorite for drinking & making lemonade. It is slightly carbonated/ fizzy and sweet.This spring water is high in calcium, potassium, and magnesium with a trace lithium.
~Find Spring Water near you:
(Information from the plaque,not read)~ This naturally sparkling mineral water, sacred to the Ute Indians for centuries, comes from deep within the Colorado Rocky Mountains. For thousands of years, it has journeyed through a maze of underground streams, collecting a delicate balance of mineral and trace elements. Eventually, the water surfaces here, orginally as two springs, which accounts for the name, TWIN SPRING, but has since merged into one greater flow. It is a natural diuretic, and with its sweet taste, is considered in Manitou as the connoisseur's choice.

Colorado Springs, CO / Pikes Peak & Garden of the Gods / RV Living
RV travel through Colorado Springs CO was great! We drove up Pikes Peak and also through Garden of the Gods. We had a hard time finding a campground at a decent price (Garden of the Gods campground was about $50 nightly, so we passed on that), so we gave boondockers welcome a try, and loved it! The actual town of Colorado Springs CO was perfect and even a place we would consider living full time. It is on the eastern side of the Rockies (Rocky Mountains) and has a quaint country feel but modern conveniences of a city. The camping is expensive, but lots of free and well priced National Forest Camping after May.
