Manitou Cliff Dwellings
The Manitou Cliff Dwellings are a tourist attraction, located just west of Colorado Springs, Colorado on US Highway 24. Although the appeal of the cliff dwellings is that they are supposedly an accurate representation of the homes of the ancient Anasazi people, the truth is that the Anasazi never lived anywhere near Colorado Springs, and that the adobe walls that make up the dwellings were actually hauled from Mesa Verde, several hundred miles to the southwest, and reassembled in their present location.
