Every spring in Manitou runs through different rock, so every one tastes a little different. Bring a cup and go mild to bold:

1. Seven Minute Spring: the mildest and least fizzy. An easy first sip, with a gazebo garden to sit in.
2. Twin Spring (Ruxton Ave): the longtime local favorite. Crisp and fizzy with a little bite at the end.
3. Stratton Spring (Manitou & Ruxton): the bubbliest water in town. Look for the bronze sculpture.
4. Navajo Spring: pleasantly fizzy, and the spring that first made Manitou famous.
5. Cheyenne Spring: a few steps from Navajo. Fuller and bubblier.
6. Wheeler Spring (behind the post office): salty, a little like baking soda.
7. Shoshone Spring: the warmest of the eight and one of the most mineral-heavy. An acquired taste.
8. Iron Spring (top of Ruxton Ave): save it for last. Big iron flavor. You’ll either love it or laugh, but either way you’ll be able to say you did them all!

Good to know: the springs are tested regularly, and they aren’t recommended for babies.

Save this for your Manitou trip 💧

This and nowhere to be tonight. >>>

After the Incline or a morning at Garden of the Gods, the best plan is no plan: fire pits, a blanket, coffee from the lobby, and nowhere to be. Fall nights cool down fast so bring a layer (or plan for a hot tub soak!) and enjoy the stars.

Planning a trip to Manitou Springs, Colorado this October?

Here is what’s happening in town this month, from fall color to one of the strangest events in the state.

Look up first. The first two weeks of October are prime time for aspens around Pikes Peak.

Take the cog railway from the Manitou Springs depot, then walk Manitou Avenue and fill a water bottle at one of the town’s mineral springs.

Plan around Saturday, October 24. That’s the Emma Crawford Coffin Races, a costume parade and coffin race on Manitou Avenue that has become a fixture of Halloween season in Colorado Springs. It’s free to watch, and the parade starts at noon.

Looking for where to stay in Manitou Springs in October? The Outrider is a renovated boutique hotel in the middle of town, a good base for fall color, a hike up the Incline, and a full weekend of things to do in Manitou Springs, Colorado.

Save this post for your fall trip, and send it to whoever you’d bring along.

A slow walk through Manitou Springs.

Natural mineral springs, local shops, gorgeous views around every corner, and some small businesses we love. (Hi, Manitou Springs Arcade, Patsy’s Candies | COLORADO CANDY STORE, Green Horse Gallery, and Manitou Brewing Company!)

Stay just minutes from it all at The Outrider. Link in bio to book!

POV: You disappeared into the mountains for the weekend.

No notifications, no plans, just the sound of the fire pit crackling and a hot tub under more stars than you’ve maybe ever seen.

Manitou Springs, minutes from Garden of the Gods, and a hotel built for exactly this kind of disappearing act.

3 minutes from Garden of the Gods. A world away from everything else.

The Outrider sits right in the middle of it — Garden of the Gods, the Manitou Incline, Pikes Peak, and downtown Manitou Springs, all just minutes away. Come back from a big day outside to a hotel that’s actually built for it.
