On the Camp Smith Trail. Looking south from Manitou Mountain, a view of Dunderberg Mountain of the Hudson Highlands and Peekskill Bay. Further away, Hook Mountain and High Tor can be seen. Interestingly, as the Hudson River exits the Hudson Highlands region, which is where the river reaches its deepest point at World's End, it flows into its widest point of the river at Haverstraw Bay at over 3 miles in width. Just south of the Hudson Highlands.

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.
Manitou Springs is a home rule municipality located in El Paso County, Colorado, United States. The town was founded for its natural mineral springs. The downtown area continues to be of interest to travelers, particularly in the summer, as the downtown area consists of many one-story, adjoining, small shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as a creekside city park with a children's playground made from unusual materials. Among other services, shops cater to tourist interests such as clothing, candy, souvenirs, and outdoor recreation. The main road through the center of town was one of the direct paths to the base of Pikes Peak. Barr Trail, which winds its way up Pikes Peak, is accessible from town.
