Drive 2 Minutes
Cripple Creek and Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad

Exploring the best of the Pikes Peak Region
From summiting Pikes Peak to exploring Garden of the Gods.

Manitou Cliff Dwellings
Why you’ll love it
Manitou Cliff Dwellings were originally moved to the region from Southwest Colorado in the early 1900’s in hopes of protecting them for future generations. Because these are no longer an archeological site, you’re able to get up close and personal. Touch the walls, climb the ladders, even try your hand at grinding corn. Fun for all ages (and educational, just don’t tell the kids they’re learning something!)
