tunnel, us 24 near manitou springs

I didn't find much of interest along CO Rte. 67 (north of Cripple Creek) or US Hwy. 24 (between Florissant and Manitou Springs), just another mountain pass to climb and descend. I only stopped to check out one interesting sight at the side of the road: this old tunnel.

inside the tunnel

I read the vandalized sign at the entrance to the tunnel, that explained something about how the road used to run through here before a bypass was constructed around the hillside. I wasn't terribly impressed, so I moved on.

There are plenty of decent places to stay along Manitou Avenue in Manitou Springs. Most are older, family run motels, but are still clean and reasonably priced.

Manitou Springs has many great restaurants to choose from, on Manitou Avenue. I ate at two: the Stagecoach Inn (good food but a bit pricey, nothing special) and the Loop (a great Mexican place, that served an outstanding chile verde).
