Hidden between Garden of the Gods and America's most famous mountain, Pikes Peak, lies the magical town of Manitou Springs, just minutes from Colorado Springs.
"Manitou," a Native American word for " great spirit," describes this beautiful mountain community. Eight naturally carbonated mineral spring fountains, located throughout this historic town, run free for all who wish to enjoy their healing benefits. The Ute, Cheyenne and other Native Americans considered this area sacred for its healing springs and clean mountain air.
The naturally occurring mineral springs have a rich history of giving and restoring health to people who traveled thousands of miles to be healed by the magical waters. Today, health and wellness continues to be a draw for residents and visitors who come to the area for its unparalleled quality of life and holistic, spiritually uplifting personality.
It's beautiful, free & right next to the Wedding Venue! You can either drive through or walk through. (The walk is very easy and fit for anyone) Either way, you can't go wrong!
