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 in touch with nature at Sky Pond and Tundra Communities Trail. Explore hidden gems such as Ouzel Falls and Sheep Lakes. Venture out of the city with trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (Calypso Cascades, Longs Peak, &more). There's lots more to do: explore by horseback at Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, take a stroll through Jessup Farm Artisan Village, indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company, and identify plant and animal life at Coyote Ridge Natural Area.
