Various sights, as we made our way NW on W Colorado Ave, which becomes Manitou Ave, on the way to our destiny with the train which would take us up Pikes Peak.
Manitou Springs CO, a quaint village, nestled against the mountains. For you Kansas City folk, it's like Westport on steroids. It had lots of hippies, when I was a kid, and last Sunday afternoon, it appeared to still have them. Saw a woman at least sixty years old, with long hair, just a-flauntin' it like a super model!

Manitou Springs has been attracting visitors since the 1880's. Sandwiched between Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods, there are also numerous mineral springs scattered around town.
