Called vibrant, eclectic and authentic, Fort Collins tops “best of” lists year after year thanks to its myriad of cultural opportunities.

Get out of town with these interesting Fort Collins side-trips: Rocky Mountain National Park (Bear Lake, Many Parks Curve Overlook, &more) and Chapel on the Rock (in Allenspark). The adventure continues: engage your brain at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, look for gifts at St. Pete's Fly Shop, pause for some photo ops at Veteran's Plaza of Northern Colorado, and admire the natural beauty at Annual Flower Trial Garden.
