Manitou Springs Adventures is an editorial reference for outdoor recreation and travel in the Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak region of Colorado.
The region gets a lot of coverage that stops at the scenery. What it gets less of is the practical detail — which campgrounds can actually take a 35-foot rig, what the Manitou Incline’s reservation system requires before you arrive, how much longer Barr Trail takes than its mileage suggests, and what thinner air does to an engine and a cooling system on the way up.
That is what the editors cover here: hiking trails, campgrounds and RV parks, and high-altitude driving in the Pikes Peak region, written for people deciding whether a specific trip will work.
