Cliff Dwellings
Manitou Cliff Dwellings Preserve and Museums, located in the scenic foothills of Pikes Peak, overlooking the historic town of Manitou Springs, offer a unique look at Native American culture.
While wandering through the preserves you will discover the fascinating
architecture of the ancient Anasazi. Indian dancers provide traditional
programs June through August.
Visitors are encouraged to explore the dwellings, room by room, on a

sure to delight visitors of all ages.
The dwellings are paired with 2 museums that feature cultural displays
of prehistoric Southwestern Indians. Several gift shops feature
Indian-made pottery, jewelry and crafts, as well as Colorado souvenirs
