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.

Take a break from the city and head to Trail Ridge Road and Hallett Peak. Change things up with these side-trips from Fort Collins: Rocky Mountain National Park (Many Parks Curve Overlook & Hidden Valley Sledding and Tubing Hill). There's lots more to do: sample the tasty concoctions at New Belgium Brewing Company, trek along Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, explore the activities along Reservoir Ridge Natural Area, and identify plant and animal life at Coyote Ridge Natural Area.
