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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Annual Flower Trial Garden and The Farm at Lee Martinez Park. Attractions like Trail Ridge Road and Gardens on Spring Creek make great kid-friendly stops. Get out of town with these interesting Fort Collins side-trips: Rocky Mountain National Park (Longs Peak & Many Parks Curve Overlook). There's still lots to do: walk around City Park, ride a horse along Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, get engrossed in the history at Totally 80's Pizza & Museum, and look for all kinds of wild species at Coyote Ridge Natural Area.
