For centuries, indigenous Americans passing through the Pikes Peak Region stopped in the valley of the “Medicine” springs to drink and bathe in the water and pay homage to the healing spirits of the mineral springs. The town of Manitou Springs was founded in the early 1870s as a resort for travelers from the east seeking the relief of the healing waters and the dry mountain air. Now there are eight naturally carbonated mineral springs throughout the Manitou Springs Historic District. All bubble up from the karst aquifer deep under the town, where the water is permeated with natural carbonation as it is forced to the surface.
