Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Ancient Native American cliff dwellings in Manitou Springs, Colorado
The Manitou Cliff Dwellings contain 40 rooms carved into red sandstone cliffs, featuring authentic Pueblo architectural elements and traditional building techniques.
These preserved structures, dating back over 800 years, were carefully relocated from southwestern Colorado to their current location in the early 1900s.
The three-story museum displays Native American artifacts, including traditional pottery, weapons, and tools that represent the daily life of Pueblo communities.
Visitors can explore the dwellings through self-guided tours from 9 AM to 5 PM daily, with admission prices ranging from $8 for children to $12.75 for adults.
The site permits direct contact with the ancient structures, allowing guests to walk through narrow passages and touch the centuries-old stone walls.
