11 days in Fort Collins Itinerary

Called vibrant, eclectic and authentic, Fort Collins tops “best of” lists year after year thanks to its myriad of cultural opportunities.

Venture out of the city with trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (Gem Lake, Lily Lake, &more) and Allenspark (Chapel on the Rock & Eagle Plume Trading Post). There's much more to do: stroll through Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, look and learn at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, explore the activities along Cache La Poudre River, and go on a hair-raising tour with a ghost and vampire tour.
