The history of Manitou Springs is forever linked to its cold drinking springs. Members of the Ute, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Kiowa nations treated Manitou as neutral ground where all could find relief for their physical ailments without fear of attack. Today, several of the original springs that have been restored for public consumption are named in honor of Manitou's first settlers. The waters are available free to the public. Walking tours are held every summer and maps are available throughout the year for those who prefer to tour the springs at their own pace.
