In between the Garden of the Gods Park and Pikes Peak is a cute little town called Manitou Springs. We stopped here after our walk around Garden of the Gods to grab something to eat for lunch. We stopped in at the Red Dog Cafe. Sitting at a table right in front of the window, we shared a sandwich and some snacks and watch the cars and people go by.  We meant to get back here during the week to look around a little more but time got away from us.

Another day we had lunch at the famous Thunder and Buttons in Old Colorado City. Both places were minutes from our hotel.

A big bear greats us on our way to Cave of the Winds after lunch in Manitou Springs.
