7 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.

Family-friendly places like Trail Ridge Road and The Bartels Farm will thrill your kids. Venture out of the city with trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (Chasm Falls, Forest Canyon Overlook, &more) and Chapel on the Rock (in Allenspark). There's much more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Cache La Poudre River, take in nature's colorful creations at Annual Flower Trial Garden, look and learn at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, and appreciate the history behind Veteran's Plaza of Northern Colorado.
