5 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Fort Collins: Rocky Mountain National Park (Bear Lake, Sprague Lake, &more) and Chapel on the Rock (in Allenspark). The adventure continues: indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company, trek along Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, see the sky in a new way at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, and explore the activities along Cache La Poudre River.
