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.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Trail Ridge Road and Cache La Poudre River. Change things up with these side-trips from Fort Collins: Rocky Mountain National Park (Many Parks Curve Overlook, Emerald Lake Trail, &more). There's still lots to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Annual Flower Trial Garden, examine the collection at Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space.
