4 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Fort Collins side-trips: Deadman Lookout (in Red Feather Lakes) and Rocky Mountain National Park (Alluvial Fan & Old Fall River Road). There's still lots to do: indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company, see the sky in a new way at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, go on a hair-raising tour with a ghost and vampire tour, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space.

In December, plan for daily highs up to 41°F, and evening lows to 16°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 8th (Sun) so you can travel back home.
