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.

Get a sense of the local culture at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery and The Farm at Lee Martinez Park. Get in touch with nature at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space and Watson Lake State Wildlife Area. Change things up with these side-trips from Fort Collins: Red Feather Lakes (Deadman Lookout & Shambhala Mountain Center) and Old Fall River Road (in Rocky Mountain National Park). There's still lots to do: indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company, view the masterpieces at Downtown Artery, look for all kinds of wild species at Coyote Ridge Natural Area, and stop by The Cupboard.
