Colorado Springs Vacation - Day 4


Pike's Peak Summit was not open today. The road at the top is covered in ice. We are hoping it will melt away so we will be able to drive to the summit before we leave.

Today, we visited the Manitou Cliff Dwellings and the historic town of Manitou Springs.


We were allowed to climb all over the cliff dwellings. Nathan liked that a lot. I don't think he understood that people use to live there, but I tried to explain it to him on his level.




We went to the historic town of Manitou Springs to taste some of the spring water. There are 11 springs in the town. We tasted three of them.


Wheeler Springs - Nathan fell asleep again.


Cheyenne Springs

The spring waters contain minerals including carbonic acid. All the spring water that we tasted reminded me of Alka Selzer.


While Nathan was napping in the car, Randy and I snagged a couple of park and grab caches.
