Welcome to Manitou Springs Magazine — a community publication for the little city at the foot of Pikes Peak.

This magazine exists for two audiences at once: the people who live here year-round, and the visitors who want more than the postcard version of town. You will find stories about the mineral springs, the Incline, the live music, the history, and the everyday life of the canyon.

What you'll find here

• Mineral Springs — guides to the eight public spring fountains and the water they produce.
• History & Legends — Victorian bathhouses, coffin races, and the characters who built this town.
• The Incline — the mile of stairs that owns everyone who has climbed it.
• Music & Arts — venues, artists, and the week's live calendar.
• Community — the people, projects, and conversations that make Manitou, Manitou.

The Marketplace carries classifieds from locals, and the Directory is a plain, honest index of local businesses.

Pour yourself a cup of spring water and look around. We're glad you're here.
