Pikes Peak Pages

Pikes Peak Pages sits on Manitou Avenue in the heart of Manitou Springs, a funky little town at the base of America's most famous mountain that has attracted artists, healers, and free spirits for well over a century. The store was founded in 2007 by a geologist and a yoga instructor who shared a love of books and a vision for a shop that would reflect the town's unique blend of science, spirituality, and creativity. The mineral and gem literature section is the most unexpected treasure, drawing rockhounds and geology enthusiasts with its collection of identification guides, lapidary manuals, and accounts of the region's rich mining heritage. The metaphysical and spiritual section is one of the most comprehensive on the Front Range, ranging from ancient wisdom traditions to contemporary mindfulness practices. The Colorado Springs regional history shelves cover the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, the founding of the Garden of the Gods, and the military and space heritage of the area. An in-store cafe serves herbal teas and organic coffee, and a small meditation nook in the back offers a quiet space for reflection amid the bustle of Manitou Avenue.
