About Manitou Cliff Dwellings

This is a rare historical treasure. Preserved under a protective red sandstone overhang, cliff dwellings over 800 years old await you here. You are encouraged to explore the dwellings room by room using a self-guided tour. The attraction was established using replica and reconstructed Pueblo cliff dwellings. An associated private museum features commercially-developed displays about Ancestral Puebloan peoples from the perspective of white settlers in the American West.
