15 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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate The 1879 Avery House and 1883 Water Works. Discover out-of-the-way places like Annual Flower Trial Garden and Flattop Mountain Trail. Get out of town with these interesting Fort Collins side-trips: Rocky Mountain National Park (Chasm Falls, Tundra Communities Trail, &more) and Deadman Lookout (in Red Feather Lakes). There's still lots to do: indulge your thirst for a good beer at Horse & Dragon Brewing Company, stroll through Coyote Ridge Natural Area, get some jogging in at Poudre Trail, and get engrossed in the history at Totally 80's Pizza & Museum.
