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 Flattop Mountain Trail and Reservoir Ridge Natural Area. Step off the beaten path and head to The Farm at Lee Martinez Park and City Park. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Fort Collins: Chapel on the Rock (in Allenspark) and Rocky Mountain National Park (Many Parks Curve Overlook & Dream Lake). And it doesn't end there: ride a horse along Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, identify plant and animal life at Pineridge Natural Area, sample the tasty concoctions at Jessup Farm Barrel House, and take in nature's colorful creations at Gardens on Spring Creek.
