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.

Family-friendly places like Trail Ridge Road and Horsetooth Mountain Open Space will thrill your kids. Venture out of the city with trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (Milner Pass, Bear Lake, &more) and Eagle Plume Trading Post (in Allenspark). The adventure continues: contemplate the waterfront views at Cache La Poudre River, see the interesting displays at Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising, look and learn at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, and pause for some photo ops at Veteran's Plaza of Northern Colorado.
