Blue Skies Inn is located in Manitou Springs in the foothills of Pikes Peak, at the heart of Colorado recreation, with good access to river rafting, mountain hiking, unusual shopping centers and all of the terrain and sights that characterize the Colorado experience.
Downtown Manitou Springs offers a charming example of turn-of-the-century architecture housing a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Just about every kind of Colorado souvenir one could imagine can be found within easy walking distance in the five blocks that make up downtown Manitou Springs.
Every day at Blue Skies Inn, we look up and see the supreme attraction of the region. Pikes Peak is the easternmost "Fourteener" in Colorado. The Peak summit gains eight thousand feet of altitude in the 13 miles that separate it from Manitou Springs. The 14,110 foot Peak dominates the skyline for up to eighty miles out into the Great Plains. In and around the Pikes Peak massif, one can find every kind of mountain recreation: parks, trails, ghost towns and quirky mountain villages.
