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 Annual Flower Trial Garden and Poudre Trail. Escape the urban bustle at Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area and Riverbend Ponds Natural Area. Venture out of the city with trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (North Inlet Trail, Many Parks Curve Overlook, &more). It doesn't end there: identify plant and animal life at Fossil Creek Reservoir Natural Area and gain some tasty knowledge on Beer & Bike Day Tours.
