Emma Crawford Coffin Races & Parade

The 17th annual Emma Crawford Coffin Races & Parade in Manitou Springs, Colorado  fill the street on October 29th at 12:00-3:30 commemorating  the  passing of Emma Crawford.   Ghostly and ghoulish town mourners mix and mingle as they view the decked out coffins. The day starts with the parade of coffins with their themed entourage,  hearses and the town mourners. Then the coffins, on wheels, containing their " Emma"  prepare for the 250 yard race up Manitou Avenue. Teams are judged on speed as well as creative design. This is a festive pre-Halloween event not to be missed. 

Emma's  Victorian wake with generous Victorian buffet is the night before at the Miramont Castle.

In hopes for a cure of TB,  young Emma Crawford came to Manitou Springs hearing of the healing mineral water. She loved the mountains and hiked in the fresh air. Emma did not survive and her wishes were to  to be buried atop  the 7200  foot  peak of Red Mountain.  Years later,early  in the 1900's the granite gave way during a heavy rain and  her coffin washed down into town . She is now buried in the Manitou Springs Cemetery.

Emma is not forgotten.

Fall in Colorado

A weekend getaway to enjoy fall colors in Colorado is just a drive away. Your destination Manitou Springs and the Avenue Hotel Bed and Breakfast.  A Scenic drive?  After a scrumptious breakfast stop into Spice of Life have them pack you a lunch to go and head up Old Stage Road  to the Gold Camp Rd on your way to Victor and Cripple Creek. This drive can offer fall foliage that is spectacular. Aspen scattered in among the pines and boulders. Scrub oak, rusty and spent fill the underbrush. The cool crisp fall air is inviting and welcomed after the long hot summer days.  The road is easy to travel, the colors brilliant ; stop along the way enjoy lunch. The pictures shown are of the drive over Gold Camp Rd to Cripple Creek  that Randy took last fall. This is a great day trip!

Victor and Cripple Creek are full of mining history . Molly Kathleen Mine tour is terrific tour to take. This is a tour of a hard rock gold mine. 1,000 into hard rock through tunnels dug out  by miners a hundred years ago. Of course, Cripple Creek is a gambling town so you can have some fun and try your luck while you are there. There is a museum and a narrow gauge train.

Travel back on Hwy 67 through Woodland Park back to Manitou Springs.
