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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Odell Brewing Company and Emerald Lake Trail. Step out of the city life by going to Pineridge Natural Area and Poudre Trail. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Fort Collins: Rocky Mountain National Park (Tundra Communities Trail, Sheep Lakes, &more). And it doesn't end there: explore by horseback at Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas, look for all kinds of wild species at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area, and stroll around Lory State Park.
