Event info:
At the walk start/finish, you will pick up a map with driving directions on how to get to the walk trailhead. Bring your walking sticks and enjoy walking through Manitou's historical downtown and residential areas on streets and sidewalks. You will have many beautiful vantage points of Manitou Springs and opportunities to window shop the artistically unique retail stores along Manitou Ave. The trail is rated a 2A, because of some hills and the altitude (6,412 ft). Large wheeled strollers can complete the trail. Wheelchairs are not recommended. Pets must be leashed! Restrooms are available at the start/finish. County: El Paso. Manitou Springs has an European historic style, with several castle structures. At one point, you can see the Red Stone Castle high on a hill overlooking the city; it is now a bed and breakfast. Area attractions include: the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Miramont Castle, Cave of the Winds, and the Cliff Dwellings. Numerous bed & breakfasts, motels, and campgrounds are available for your stay. |
