The land upon which Manitou Springs was founded had long been a sacred cultural crossroads for the Anasazi, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Ute and Arapaho people. They gathered here near the mineral springs, whose natural carbonation they called The Breath of The Great Spirit. They believed these waters carried great power to heal and cleanse. Today the community is one of the most eclectic and charming places in the country, full of art, music, and spiritual seeking. Manitou draws visitors from all over the world, many of whom still come here to sit at the foot of Tava Mountain and experience the power of these waters.
