3 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Fort Collins side-trips: Rocky Mountain National Park (Bear Lake, Emerald Lake Trail, &more). There's still lots to do: indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company, hike along Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, contemplate the waterfront views at Cache La Poudre River, and admire the natural beauty at Annual Flower Trial Garden.
