Manitou Springs vs Mesa Verde

No, Manitou is a reconstruction, Mesa Verde is the real thing. Better make reservations online ahead of time for the tours at MV. We found them all booked up for 3 days in advance, when we were there a month ago.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering. Like I said, I've been in both areas many times over the years but have never been to either one of these attractions. We usually camp up off highway 550 and ride ATVs and camp and just enjoy nature.
