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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Many Parks Curve Overlook and Beer & Bike Day Tours. Escape the urban bustle at Deer Mountain and Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area. Change things up with a short trip to North Inlet Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park (about 1h 15 min away). The adventure continues: look for all kinds of wild species at Coyote Ridge Natural Area, take in nature's colorful creations at Annual Flower Trial Garden, and explore the landscape on two wheels at Poudre Trail.
