The Manitou Springs area, near Pikes Peak, offers a number of attractions. Garden of the Gods is made up of unusual red sandstone rocks that have been tilted and sculpted into fascinating shapes.
Cave of the Winds is an underground cavern in the tradition of the classic (that is, somewhat touristy) cave tours.
Miramont Castle, built in the late 1800s, is a large and odd mansion constructed of stone and clapboard. Manitou Cliff Dwellings Museum contains replicas of ancient Anasazi-style structures. Closer to Colorado Springs is Seven Falls, a group of waterfalls best viewed from the lookout known as Eagle's Nest.
