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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Wild Basin Area, Mills Lake and Sky Pond. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at The Farm at Lee Martinez Park and Reservoir Ridge Natural Area. Escape the urban bustle at Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area and Fossil Creek Reservoir Natural Area. Venture out of the city with trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (Sheep Lakes, Many Parks Curve Overlook, &more). The adventure continues: identify plant and animal life at Riverbend Ponds Natural Area, indulge your thirst for a good beer at Funkwerks, play a few rounds at Collindale Golf Course, and grab your bike and head to Poudre Trail.
