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.

Step out of the city life by going to Trail Ridge Road and Cache La Poudre River. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Fort Collins: Rocky Mountain National Park (Sheep Lakes, Old Fall River Road, &more). There's still lots to do: indulge your thirst for a good beer at New Belgium Brewing Company, appreciate the history behind Veteran's Plaza of Northern Colorado, trek along Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, and get thoroughly spooked out with a ghost and vampire tour.

For where to stay, photos, maps, and more tourist information, you can read our Fort Collins vacation planning website.

In September, plan for daily highs up to °F, and evening lows to °F. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 22nd (Tue) so you can travel back home.
