2 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.

Start off your visit on the 28th (Mon): take in nature's colorful creations at Gardens on Spring Creek, then stop by The Cupboard, then sample the tasty concoctions at Odell Brewing Company, and finally indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company. Keep things going the next day: pause for some photo ops at Veteran's Plaza of Northern Colorado, then trek along Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, then steep yourself in history at 1883 Water Works, and finally get thoroughly spooked out with a ghost and vampire tour.
