6 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (Many Parks Curve Overlook, Emerald Lake Trail, &more) and Chapel on the Rock (in Allenspark). There's still lots to do: sample the tasty concoctions at New Belgium Brewing Company, take in nature's colorful creations at Annual Flower Trial Garden, get thoroughly spooked out with a ghost and vampire tour, and relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas.
